  • A keen interest in Design & Technology
  • Good hand/eye coordination and manual dexterity
  • A “can do” attitude

    Good interpersonal and communication skills
Benefits include
  • National Apprenticeship Wage, rising before the end of the apprenticeship programme
  • Day shift working – variety of shift patterns Monday to Friday
  • Life Insurance
