Finishing Assistant – approx. £32,000 – Deeside, CH5 2NS
Do you have experience in a manufacturing or production environment? Are you someone who works well in a team, takes pride in doing things properly, and keeps quality and safety front of mind?
The role
MMP UK is looking for a Finishing Assistant to join its busy Finishing Department on a 3-shift pattern.
This is a practical, hands-on role where no two shifts are quite the same. You will support the Gluing Department by helping machine operators keep production running smoothly, safely and to the right quality standards.
You will be part of a team that relies on good communication, attention to detail and a willingness to get stuck in where needed.
Key Responsibilities
Your duties will include:
- Loading and unloading cartons on gluing machines
- Setting up and operating case erectors and K&Z robotic cells
- Checking cartons for quality issues and separating non-conforming products
- Hand-stripping cartons when required
- Moving printed and unprinted products around the factory
- Following Company procedures and Standard Operating Procedures
- Supporting colleagues in the automation area
- Carrying out quality checks on finished products
- Helping across gluing machines and other factory areas when needed
- Working safely and following health and safety rules
- Keeping your work area clean, tidy and organised
- Completing other reasonable tasks requested by management
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
