Frequently Asked Questions
It depends on the specific role. For workshop-based cabinet maker positions, the employer typically provides all large machinery (panel saws, edge banders). However, having your own personal hand tools (chisels, marking gauges, squares, cordless drill/driver) is usually expected and demonstrates professionalism. For installation roles, you will almost certainly need your own basic fitting tools. Your consultant will clarify tool requirements for each specific assignment.
Most of our Cabinet Maker / Installer roles in Leeds LS11 follow a standard Monday to Friday pattern, typically 8am to 5pm with a lunch break.

For those seeking flexible hours, we recommend exploring our call answering service roles which may offer more varied schedules.
