We're recruiting for an established print and mailing business in Corby who are looking for a Print Production Assistant to join their busy production team.

No previous print experience is required.

This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who is reliable, practical, and keen to learn a skilled trade. You'll initially work alongside experienced Printers, supporting them with the day-to-day running of production equipment.

Full training will be provided, with the opportunity to learn the machinery and progress into a Printer position as your skills and experience develop.

What You'll Be Doing

• Assisting experienced Printers with the running of production machinery
• Changing and handling reels of material
• Topping up inks and other consumables
• Strapping and preparing finished pallets
• Moving materials around the production area
• Helping with machine changeovers and production set-up
• Carrying out basic quality checks
• Keeping work areas clean, organised and safe
• Learning how the printing equipment operates
• Taking on additional machine responsibilities as your training progresses

About You

You don't need previous printing experience. We're more interested in finding someone with the right attitude who:

• Is reliable and punctual
• Is comfortable working in a hands-on production environment
• Is physically comfortable with moving materials and being on their feet
• Has good attention to detail
• Works well as part of a team
• Is keen to learn new skills
• Wants the opportunity to develop and progress

Previous experience within manufacturing, warehousing, production, packing or a factory environment would be useful, but isn't essential.

Hours

You'll initially work day shifts while completing your training.

Once trained, the role will move onto a rotating shift pattern:

Monday – Thursday:
6:00am – 2:00pm / 2:00pm – 10:00pm

Friday:
6:00am – 12:00pm / 12:00pm – 6:00pm

The Opportunity

This isn't just an operative role. For someone who applies themselves and wants to develop, there is a genuine opportunity to train and progress into a skilled Printer position.

If you're looking for a hands-on role where you can learn a trade and build a longer-term career within print production, we'd love to hear from you.
