About Us
The Gifting Knot Ltd is a creative, independent business based in Hartlepool, known for our personalised handmade gifts sent to customers all over the world. We're a small but mighty team who care about thoughtful design, excellent customer service, and bringing joy through gifting.
We're looking for a reliable and motivated team player to join us as a studio assistant – someone with a hands-on attitude, a great eye for detail, and a love for both creativity and getting stuck in.
The Role
This is a varied, hands-on role that involves working with UV and laser printers to create high-quality personalised products. You'll also support the team with product assembly and packaging during busier periods, helping to make sure every order meets our high standards and is sent out on time.
You'll be trained on the equipment and processes, but a natural attention to detail and willingness to learn are essential.
Your Main Duties:
* Processing and preparing customer orders
* Operating UV and laser printers (full training can be provided)
* Supporting general production tasks and keeping things running smoothly
* Helping with daily housekeeping to keep our workspace clean and organised
What We're Looking For:
* A hands-on, can-do attitude
* Must be computer literate
* A great eye for detail – we're all about quality here
* Comfortable using both computers and machinery
* Able to work independently and as part of a small, friendly team
* Organised, reliable, and willing to help out wherever needed
* Not afraid to roll up your sleeves – it can get a bit messy, but that's all part of the fun
No formal experience or qualifications needed – just the right mindset and a willingness to learn.
Perks of the Job:
* Flexible working hours (depending on the candidate)
* Free on-site parking
* Extra holiday day for your birthday – because you deserve to celebrate
* Supportive, friendly environment with room to grow
* Potential to move into a permanent full-time role
Working Hours
Part-time: 16 to 32 hours per week
Typically Monday to Thursday mornings, but we're open to discussing what works best for you.
