Skincare Manufacturer

We are looking for an enthusiastic and creative cosmetics or skincare manufacturer to join our established and friendly team at our head office in Perth. We have an extensive order book and so it is important that you will need to have prior experience - either from previous employment or your own business - in the manufacture, production and creation of cosmetics, creams, balms or lotions as we are looking for someone who can hit the ground running.

Voyager was established in 2020 as a health & wellness business with a focus on CBD, hemp and sustainability. The company has quickly grown with three stores in Scotland, an extraction facility in Poland, a distribution network spanning the UK and Europe and our own in-house manufacturing. As well as creating products for our two brands, we also provide white label and private label services for others.

We manufacture a large range of products, including moisturisers, lip balms, bath products and body oils. You will be involved in the making of all of these plus many others. You will also be involved in filling, labelling and packing of the products.

If you have a creative flair and enjoy manufacturing products to the highest standards then we would love to hear from you. The role would suit a person who is looking for either a part-time or a full-time role. We support flexible working but, above all, we value enthusiasm, creativity and a natural interest in plant-based health & wellness solutions - we welcome ideas for new products.
