About the Client
Our client is a highly successful, long-established, family-run British manufacturer specialising in luxury, handmade outerwear. Proudly manufacturing in England for over four decades, they are recognised globally as world leaders in their highly specialised field.
Their iconic garments are proudly British-made and are regularly worn by high-profile international figures, including famous musicians, actors, and European Royalty. Due to a consistently full order book and ongoing expansion, they are looking for an experienced artisan to join their close-knit, passionate cutting team.
The Role
We are seeking an experienced and meticulous Clothing Hand Cutter to work within a busy, modern factory environment. As a luxury brand, precision is everything. You will be responsible for handling premium, heavy-weight fabrics (such as high-grade tweeds and wools), ensuring that every piece is meticulously cut to pattern specifications, respecting fabric grain, checks, and alignments.
This role offers a fantastic work-life balance with highly desirable, school-friendly part-time hours and no Friday or weekend work.
Key Responsibilities:

• Accurately hand-cutting high-end luxury fabrics using standard industry cutting tools (shears, straight knives, or band saws as required).
  
• Working confidently with complex textile patterns, ensuring meticulous alignment of checks, plaids, and fabric grains.
  
• Interpreting production patterns, specification sheets, and lay plans accurately to maximise fabric efficiency and minimise waste.
  
• Conducting rigorous quality checks on fabrics prior to and during cutting, identifying and marking any natural flaws or weaving defects.
  
• Collaborating closely with the design, fusing, and machining teams to ensure a smooth, efficient workflow.
  
• Maintaining a clean, safe, and organised cutting station in line with factory health and safety guidelines.
  

What We Are Looking For
Because this role involves working with premium, high-value materials for a luxury global market, previous experience in commercial hand-cutting is essential.

• Proven Experience: A strong background as a hand cutter, pattern cutter, or textile cutter within a garment manufacturing or fashion environment.
  
• An Eye for Perfection: Exceptional attention to detail, with a deep understanding of fabric behaviour, pattern matching (especially tweeds/checks), and grain lines.
  
• Precision & Skill: Highly steady hand-eye coordination with the ability to cut clean, exact edges consistently.
  
• Team Work: A reliable, punctual individual who works brilliantly as part of a busy team but can also manage their own workload independently.

Benefits & Culture

• Desirable Hours: Enjoy excellent work-life balance with 9:00 AM 2:00 PM hours, giving you your afternoons and long weekends back.
  
• Generous Holiday: 21 days annual leave plus 7 Bank Holidays.
  
• Stability: A permanent contract with a world-renowned brand experiencing robust, steady growth.
  
• On-site Parking: Free, secure on-site parking.
  
• Company Pension: Enrolment into the workplace pension scheme.
  
• Casual Dress: A comfortable, friendly, and supportive factory environment.
