Multi-Skilled Wood Work Production Operative
Application closing date : Weds, 02 Sept 2026
At Get Laid Beds, we make beautiful solid wood beds built to last. This is a hands-on workshop role producing the individual components that make up each bed.
You will join a department focused on a particular stage of production, such as machining, cutting, sanding, preparation or hand and spray finishing. You will not be expected to complete every stage of the process in one day. We will identify where your skills, aptitude and interests are strongest, train you where needed, and help you develop in the area where you can make the greatest contribution.
Experience in woodworking, machinery, furniture making or painting is advantageous, but not essential. What matters most is a practical mindset, attention to detail and genuine pride in producing quality work.
What we’re looking for
- Reliable, hands-on and keen to learn.
- Comfortable following measurements, instructions and quality standards.
- Able to work safely with timber, tools and machinery.
- Good attention to detail and pride in a high-quality finish.
- Physically able to move timber and materials safely.
- Experience with machining, cutting, sanding, hand finishing or spray painting is useful, but full training is available for the right person.
28 days’ holiday, including bank holidays (+1 day holiday per year of employment, up to 5 days). Pay: £10.85 per hour for ages 18 to 20, or £12.71 per hour for ages 21+.
