Brief Description
An excellent opportunity to join a successful, established company engaged in making niche labels and tags. The successful candidate will follow a learning path, overseen by BPIF, which will take in all aspects of flexographic printing leading to an industry recognised qualification.
Training to be Provided
The training course from BPIF is the L3 Print Technician apprenticeship, and is seen as equivalent to A-level.
All training is on-site at Sprite Labels. However, there would be visits to suppliers, such as manufacturers of die-cutting equipment, printing plates and raw materials, to give a deeper understanding of the handling and care of the various elements.
Practical training will be given by a mentor, who will take the apprentice under their wing throughout the course.
Future Prospects
The successful completion of the apprenticeship leads to the permanent, full-time post of Flexographic Printer.
Vacancy Detail
In addition to the BPIF's learning programme, the apprentice will be given support in gaining practical experience in all aspects of the production of labels and tags.
The apprentice will ultimately produce plain and printed labels on a variety of materials, using the skills learnt through the training programme.
Other Information
The role would suit a hardworking person, with a keen eye for detail and quality.
Some of the equipment is heavy, and much of the time is spent standing.
