Job Description

No experience is necessary as full training will be given but an ability to learn on the job and show good practical skills with tools is essential. Previous experience in a workshop or production environment would be great but this position could also suit a school or college leaver or an apprentice.

Consolor assesses clients with physical disabilities and manufactures a wide range of seating and mobility products to support and enable our customers. We improve the comfort and physical postures of our customers which help them to be more independent and functional, whether that's improving breathing and digestion or helping them to communicate and interact with the world around them.

During the clinical assessment we take a 3D scan of the client's posture. Back in the workshop the CADCAM Team use specialist software to finish designing the seat, a robot is programmed and then carves the custom seat to each person's profile. The seats are finished by hand and various other fabrications are manufactured and assembled and finally the finished seating systems are fitted into a new powered or manual wheelchair.

Some of the other tools and machines we use are vacuum former, bandsaws, sanders, routers (including CNC) and numerous hand tools. Every seat is individually made and shaped to each individual customer.
