Applying for this role is straight forward Scroll down and click on Apply to be considered for this position.

Self-employed commercial upholsterer wanted for ongoing contract work across the North West of England. Day rate £250 per day.

This is not an employed position. We are looking for a self-employed upholsterer , or an experienced upholsterer who is ready to go self-employed, who wants a regular flow of well-paid commercial work alongside their own jobs.

The one skill we cannot compromise on: you must be able to machine sew . Every job involves cutting and machine sewing fabric on site. If you are a hand upholsterer who sends sewing out, this is not the role for you. If you cut your own patterns and run your own industrial machine, read on.

What you will be doing:

On-site commercial upholstery repairs, re-covers and refurbishment for a well-established national company
Cutting, machine sewing and fitting on site, working independently and managing your own day
Travelling within roughly 80 miles of home, with occasional overnight stays further afield (hotels paid)
Invoicing weekly for the days you work

What you will earn:

£250 per day
This is contract work, so volume depends on demand rather than a fixed rota. It suits an upholsterer who already has some work of their own and wants a reliable, well-paid stream on top

What you need:

Proven machine sewing and pattern cutting skills. Essential. You will be asked about this on the first call
Solid commercial upholstery experience: contract seating, banquettes, booths, headboards, panels and similar
Your own tools, van and industrial sewing machine (a portable Sailrite machine can be rented for £25 per week if you need one)
Public liability insurance, vehicle insurance and a full UK driving licence
Self-employed status (sole trader or limited company), or the willingness to set up quickly
