About 4bind

This is a varied role, ideal for someone who enjoys being busy, working as part of a team and getting stuck into different tasks throughout the day.

The role will primarily be based within our despatch and warehouse area, dealing with incoming and outgoing goods. You will also support our bindery team with bookbinding, print finishing and general production duties.

Previous experience in print finishing or binding would be an advantage, but full training will be provided for the right person.

What we're looking for

• A flexible approach and willingness to take on a variety of tasks

• A proactive and self-motivated approach to work

• Good timekeeping and reliability

• The ability to work under pressure while maintaining accuracy

• A good sense of humour and a friendly attitude!

The role involves some manual handling, loading and unloading, so you will need to be comfortable with the physical demands of the position.

Location

Due to the nature of the role and working hours, applicants should ideally live within approximately 30 minutes' travelling time of SG1 2XU.

What we offer

• Competitive salary depending on skills and experience
