We’re working with a leading manufacturer in Northampton who need General Assistants to join their production team.

As a General Assistant, you’ll be the backbone of the production floor, working alongside Machine Operators to keep everything running like clockwork. This isn’t just a labouring job where you’re treated like a number. You’ll be learning the trade, getting hands‑on with the machinery, and building skills that’ll take you from assistant to operator. We’re talking about a proper career path, not just a job.

Now, let’s cut to the chase and talk about what’s in it for you. Picture this: you’ll be working for a manufacturer that actually invests in their people. They’re not interested in churn and burn. They want to train you up, develop your skills, and see you progress. No micromanaging, no nonsense. Just get stuck in, learn the ropes, and grow with the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

• You’ll be supporting Machine Operators with set‑up and keeping production flowing smoothly.
• Loading and unloading materials across the production lines.
• Getting stuck into ink changes, machine cleaning, and line maintenance between runs.
• Keeping an eye on quality and flagging any issues before they become problems.
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised workspace because nobody wants to work in chaos.
• General production and warehouse duties as needed.

We Are Looking For

• Manufacturing or production experience is helpful, but not essential. If you’re fresh to the industry but have the hunger to learn and the work ethic to back it up, we’re all ears.
• Enthusiasm and a proper work ethic – you turn up on time, you graft, and you take pride in doing things properly.
• Attention to detail that would make a watchmaker jealous.
• Reliability and team‑player vibes.
• Physical fitness and comfort with manual handling.
• A positive attitude and eagerness to learn.
