Part-Time Packing Assistant (3 days per week)
Location: Walking distance from Manchester city centre & Victoria Station Hours: 10:00am – 4:15pm, 3 days per week (with a 15-minute unpaid break at 1pm)

About the role
We’re a small, family-run business (team of 6) looking for someone reliable to help us prepare our haberdashery products for Amazon FBA shipments. The job is simple but important: you’ll stand at a packing desk, counting, bagging, and boxing small items, making sure everything is accurate, tidy, and ready to go.

There’s no computer work involved - just hands-on, focused packing in a small, friendly team.

NMW depending on age

What you’ll be doing day-to-day

• Counting, bagging and boxing small components for our Amazon fullfilment orders
• Unloading and carrying deliveries (boxes, sometimes heavy, up one flight of stairs)
• Working to a good speed while staying accurate
• Standing at a packing desk for two 3-hour sessions (with a 15-minute lunch break in between)
• Being part of a small team where conversations and music keep the day moving along

Who this job suits
This role could be ideal if you:

• Want some extra income without the pressure of “climbing the ladder”
• Are happy with a repetitive but straightforward role
• Enjoy being part of a close-knit, chatty team
• Are in education or just looking for a steady, part-time job
• Can stay focused and accurate while doing hands-on tasks
• Don’t mind some light-to-heavy lifting as part of the role

What we offer

• Friendly, alternative-leaning team (we’re into everything from rock to disco and gig-going, so expect that vibe!)
• Permanent role after a 3-month probation
• No weekends, no bank holidays, no Christmas shifts (we usually close 23rd Dec – 2nd Jan)
• Paid holidays (pro rata)
• Convenient location: walking distance from Manchester city centre, Victoria Station, and tram/bus stops

The honest bit
This isn’t a job with progression opportunities - our full-time staff have been with us for years, and the rest of us are family. What we’re offering is a steady, reliable role in a welcoming environment where you’ll always be valued as part of the team.

If this sounds like the kind of straightforward, part-time work you’re after, we’d love to hear from you!
