About Bisca
Bisca designs and manufactures luxury bespoke staircases from our headquarters in Helmsley, North Yorkshire. Our staircase commissions sit at the centre of some of the world’s most impressive homes, combining craftsmanship, engineering, and innovation to create stunning architectural statements.
Our reputation has been built over three decades by people who care deeply about quality, attention to detail, and continuous improvement. We are now in search of a Workshop Assistant to join our operations team – somebody who wants to be part of a forward-thinking business and take genuine ownership for advancing our workshop environment.
Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 depending on experience + benefits
Hours: Full Time with flexibility out of hours / on weekends, as projects demand
The Opportunity
This is not a typical workshop role. You will become a key member of the team – leading and maintaining standards, organisation, and processes which will set the foundations firmly in place for developing one of the UK’s most forward thinking manufacturing environments.
From supporting craftsmen with staircase assembly; to improving workshop systems; maintaining tools and equipment; organising stores; managing stock; and ensuring our workshop operates as efficiently as possible – your role will be critical to the future performance of Bisca and the operations function.
We are looking for an energetic character who can show initiative and a strong work ethic, while being centred around commitment and results. The successful candidate will enjoy practical work, thrive on responsibility, and gain satisfaction from being part of a highly talented and skilled team of craftspeople.
Experience is welcomed, however attitude matters far more. We are selective for the right reasons – it is important that your ambitions and motivations match those of our business, which requires you to be dependable and proactive with a hunger for learning and improving. In return, Bisca will offer you exciting and long-term career prospects where commitment and reliability will be recognised and rewarded. Full training and support will be provided for the right person.
Key Responsibilities
You will support the day-to-day running and continual improvement of our workshops, taking ownership of:
Workshop organisation, upkeep, and presentation
Stores management, stock control, and material handling
Supporting craftsmen with assembly and manufacturing tasks
Maintenance of tools, machinery, vehicles, and workshop equipment
Packing, loading, and preparing staircase components
Delivery checking, labelling, and inventory management
Record keeping, maintenance logs, and workshop documentation
Maintaining exceptionally high standards across all workshop areas
The Successful Candidate Will:
Take pride in upholding high standards and attention to detail
Be hardworking, dependable, and self-motivated
Bring a positive, can-do attitude
Enjoy practical work and possess a hands-on approach
Be organised and proactive
Want responsibility and long-term progression
Thrive in a fast-paced, high-performance environment
Be excited by craftsmanship and continuous improvement
