Full job description

Overview

Goodmakers is looking for a Furniture Finisher to join our workshop team, working on high-quality, bespoke furniture projects. This role is suited to someone with experience in timber finishing — particularly stains and oil finishes — or a strong foundation with the desire to develop their skills further in a craft-led environment.

You’ll work closely with our cabinet makers on bespoke and small-batch pieces, applying finishes that emphasise the natural character of timber while maintaining consistency and refinement. This is a hands-on role where attention to detail, care, and pride in workmanship are genuinely valued.

Key Responsibilities

Preparing solid timber and veneered furniture components for finishing to a high standard
Applying stains and oil finishes (hand-applied and/or sprayed where appropriate) to achieve consistent colour, tone, and depth
Carrying out sanding and surface preparation on solid timber and veneered panels
Inspecting finished work, carrying out fine remedial work where required, and signing off pieces for delivery
Working closely with cabinet makers to ensure finishes complement construction details and design intent
Handling furniture carefully during finishing, inspection, and movement around the workshop
Maintaining a clean, organised finishing area and following all health & safety procedures

Skills & Experience (Essential)

Some experience in furniture finishing or a related role (training and progression supported)
Experience applying stains and/or oil finishes to timber
A good eye for colour, surface quality, and consistency
Careful, methodical approach to work
Comfortable working on bespoke, high-value furniture

Desirable (but not essential)

Experience with hardwax oil finishes (e.g. Rubio Monocoat, Osmo, or similar)
Experience sanding veneered panels and solid timber to a high standard
Experience working in a cabinet making or joinery environment
Experience maintaining finishing materials and consumable stock
Background in bespoke or small-batch furniture production
Interest in learning specialist finishing techniques as part of a wider craft role

What We Offer

Salary: £32,000 – £36,000 per annum, depending on experience
Full-time or part-time hours available
Monday to Friday working pattern
Overtime opportunities by agreement
Free on-site parking
A calm, well-organised workshop environment focused on quality rather than volume
The opportunity to work on high-quality, bespoke furniture where finish quality genuinely matters

Driving licence preferred
