Where will Next Furniture Manufacturing take you?

Next is one of the UK’s best known high-street retailers and most established online operations but have you ever wondered who builds our stylish and comfortable sofas?

In 2026 we opened our doors with just one production line and 6 years later we have 200 employees and 14 production lines.

We’re blazing the way for modern British Manufacturing from our home in Armthorpe, Doncaster.

Let’s take it on

As an Assistant Site Manager you will be responsible for a team of Production Supervisors and People Coordinators to ensure daily targets are achieved and deliver operational plans. You will regularly hold Production meetings to present shift requirements and provide accurate reporting data on our Woodmill, Upholstery and Support Operations. You will be responsible for problem solving complex workflow issues and work under pressure.

You will work alongside Health & Safety, Quality and Maintenance teams to meet exception standards.

The Assistant Site Manager will be a competent leader who is able to build relationships and communicate effectively.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a Manager who loves working in a fast paced environment where no day is ever the same. Being ‘hands on’ will be in your nature.

Previous Manufacturing (ideally within Furniture Manufacturing) and people management experience are essential. You will be a confident communicator who is competent to lead operational teams.

In return we can offer you:

• A fantastic working environment in new facilities
• 121 coaching and development
• Free parking
• Subsidised canteen
• 25% staff discount on all next products
