About the role
This is a varied, practical role within our Print Finishing department, helping to ensure our customers' printed work is finished to a high standard, packed correctly and ready for delivery.
You’ll work closely with our experienced Print Finishing Supervisor, who will provide training, guidance and support as you learn the role.

- Loading and unloading goods when required
- Keeping the finishing and warehouse areas clean and organised
