Job description

We are looking to support our client based in South Wirral with a requirement for a Print / Mail Room Operative.

This will begin on a temporary contract basis and whilst it is expected that this will be made permanent after a 12 week review period, this will be subject to performance levels and work requirements - so is most likely only suitable for someone out of work at the present time.

This is an opportunity to work for a Social Enterprise that helps the local community whilst contributing to a friendly team environment. The role pays £13.45 an hour (plus holiday pay) with a permanent role available after successful completion of the temporary period. Upon successful completion of temporary period benefits include profit share, healthcare cash plan, full pay sick pay, early finish on a Friday and the opportunity to help the local community. No previous experience is necessary - just reliability, worth ethic and willingness to work as part of a growing team providing alternative format solutions to household names in Finance, Telecommunications and Utilities.
