All roles are available to start immediately and, following a 12-week probation period, will become permanent.
The company’s recruitment drive comes as more than 12,000 people in the UK are set to lose their jobs after a raft of firms announced cuts in the past 48 hours.
The pandemic left Blachford fearing for its future after it was forced to furlough all staff and shut the factory down for four weeks.

Managing director Jason Lippitt said: “It’s a complete turnaround situation and a very enviable position to be in considering the current economic climate.
“Like many manufacturers, lockdown came as a real blow to us and created uncertainty in the business.
“However, since reopening the factory, orders from our European and British customers have flooded in, securing the future of Blachford and creating brand new jobs.
