We are looking for a highly motivated individual wishing to work in a friendly and forward thinking workshop.

This is a manufacturing role, making custom made insoles, using an orthotic specific CADCAM system, to clinical specifications outlined by the Orthotist. Insoles are manufactured from a range of different materials, and the manufacture involves using a variety of machinery, both hand held and bench operated, in a workshop environment. It is a non-patient facing role that improves patient lives greatly. Ideally experience in some form of manufacture, and/or use of CADCAM is desirable but role specific training will be given in-house to the successful candidate.

The workshop is based at the Queens campus and is one of the leading NHS manufacturing units in the country, providing a full range of contemporary custom made orthotic devices with a dedicated CADCAM facility for insole manufacture. The Orthotics department consists of 9 Orthotists, 6 Technicians and 7 Administrators across 2 sites treating patients across Nottinghamshire and the surrounding areas.
