• A good level of spoken and understood English

• Positive attitude and strong work ethic

• Someone looking for a long-term, stable opportunity

Key Responsibilities:

• Sorting various scrap materials (mainly metals and plastics)

• Following strict health and safety procedures

• Keeping the work area clean and organised

• Supporting the team as required

What’s in it for you?

• £13.00 per hour – weekly pay

• Stable, full-time hours

• Temp to perm opportunity after a successful period

• Immediate start

• Great team and supportive working environment
