Job description

Cure Talent is partnering with an established manufacturer supplying the healthcare sector to recruit a Workshop Operative for its production team in Bordon.

This is a practical, hands-on role in a modern, purpose-built workshop. You'll work with a range of machinery and hand tools, prepare materials, check product quality and help keep production running smoothly. Full training will be provided, with opportunities to develop towards Lead Operative or Maintenance roles.

You may already have experience in manufacturing, production, carpentry or a workshop environment. Equally, if you're confident using hand tools, have a good practical mindset and are keen to learn, we'd like to hear from you.

What will you be doing?

• Operating manual and automatic machinery, including beam saws, lifting equipment and hand tools, following training.
• Measuring, preparing and handling materials, feeding machinery and packing finished products.
• Carrying out quality checks, identifying defects and reporting anything outside the required specification.
• Troubleshooting minor machine issues and escalating maintenance needs.
• Working with the wider production team to meet targets and maintain a clean, organised and safe workshop.

What are we looking for?

• Practical ability and confidence using hand tools, ideally gained in a manufacturing, workshop or carpentry-related setting.
• Good attention to detail and the ability to follow work instructions accurately.
• A positive approach to learning, solving problems and working as part of a team.
• Willingness to undertake an active role involving prolonged standing and material handling, with lifting aids and team support available.

Starting salary is £30,000-£32,000 depending on experience, plus a company bonus scheme and overtime paid at a premium available if you want it. Hours are 7am-3:30pm, Monday to Friday, with a 45-minute break.

• Benefits include 31 days' holiday including bank holidays, training and development, free parking, company events and wellbeing support.

Public transport is limited, so a reliable commute to Bordon is essential.
