Trusted Recruiter is proud to be supporting a specialist manufacturer of bespoke seating systems for wheelchair users in their search for a hands-on, skilled Production Technician to join their growing workshop team.

This is not volume manufacturing. Every seating system is custom-built for an individual - improving comfort, posture and quality of life. Each product is its own project, taken from brief through to completion.

If you are someone who genuinely enjoys making things - not just supervising or repairing - this could be an incredibly rewarding opportunity.

The Role

You will:

* Manufacture bespoke seating systems for wheelchair users

* Interpret briefs, notes, photos and drawings

* Work across multiple stages of production

* Adapt positively to change, rework and variation

* Gradually cross-train across different processes

* Contribute to continuous improvement within the workshop

Who We’re Looking For

Attitude and maker ability matter most.

✔ Hands-on, craft-oriented mindset
✔ Pride in producing high-quality physical products
✔ Resilient and adaptable
✔ Open, constructive communicator
✔ Problem-solving approach
✔ Comfortable working in a flexible, trust-based team environment

Relevant backgrounds could include upholstery, fashion or costume production, mechanical or production engineering, model-making, CNC operation, product design or bespoke fabrication - but formal qualifications are not essential. Training and development are provided.

What’s on Offer

 * £25,000–£35,000 depending on experience (annual review)

* 25 days holiday + birthday off (if weekday)

* Pension

* Up to 5 days company sick pay

* iPad for production documentation

* Occasional performance-based bonus

* No expectation to take work home

Why Join?

* Direct impact on wheelchair users’ comfort and daily lives

* Meaningful, skilled, hands-on work

* Supportive and caring team culture

* Opportunity to expand skills across multiple production areas

* Growing business with increasing automation and product development

If you enjoy creating real, physical products that genuinely improve people’s lives — and want to be part of a skilled, positive team — we would love to hear from you
