We are hiring a… bookkeeper / office manager! (UPDATE: POSITION FILLED)

Bookkeeper and Administrator - Part Time

What’s the business all about?

Up North Cabinet Makers design, manufacture and install kitchens and fitted furniture for a domestic market in South Yorkshire and the surrounding areas. Everything we make is to a high standard with an importance placed on sustainability at every stage of the business. Projects can include kitchens, wardrobes, bookshelves, alcove cabinets, entertainment units, studies, free-standing furniture and more. We cater to a broad range of budgets, styles, and tastes. Everything is designed and made from our workshop in Sheffield, where we have a range of tools and equipment. There is a dedicated spray booth where everything is spray finished using water-based finishes to an exceptional standard.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone to join our small but growing business and play a key role in its progression, while developing your own skills and expertise along the way.
