Trainee furniture maker

Applications are currently closed. We are not accepting further applications for the time being. Thank you for your interest in Hensby Workshop.

The trainee role is intended for someone at the beginning of their furniture-making career. They should be able to demonstrate a genuine commitment to traditional furniture making, a very keen eye for detail and a willingness to start with the fundamentals and build their way up.

It is suited to someone who wants to establish a lasting place within the workshop, developing their skills and gradually taking on more responsibility over time.

Formal training in furniture making would be an advantage, but is not essential. What matters most is a demonstrable interest in learning and real care for how things are made.
