This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working in a fast‑paced environment and takes pride in maintaining high standards of accuracy, organisation and safety.

Please note: This role is physically demanding and involves heavy lifting for the majority of the working day. It is therefore not suitable for candidates seeking light‑duty warehouse work, and applicants must be comfortable carrying out regular manual handling tasks.

  • Ensure all stock is stored in the correct warehouse locations.
  • Safely carry out heavy lifting and manual handling duties throughout the working day.
  • Report any stock discrepancies or issues promptly to your Supervisor or the Stock Control Team.
  • Assist with stock takes and inventory checks as required.
  • Complete out-of-date stock lists, damaged stock records and MHE (Material Handling Equipment) records accurately.
  • Prioritise workloads to meet operational deadlines.
  • Maintain a clean, safe and organised working environment.
  • Adhere to all warehouse health and safety procedures and company policies at all times.

What We’re Looking For

  • Previous warehouse experience is essential.
  • Happy to undertake heavy lifting and physically demanding manual handling duties for the majority of each shift.
  • Excellent communication skills.
  • Strong customer service skills.
  • Good organisational skills with the ability to prioritise workloads effectively.
  • High level of accuracy and attention to detail.
  • Ability to work well as part of a team.
  • A proactive attitude and willingness to support colleagues where needed.
  • Commitment to following health and safety procedures at all times.

What’s on Offer

  • £27,940 per annum.
  • Monday to Friday working hours – 9:00am to 6:00pm.
  • Annual Performance Bonus Scheme.
  • Full‑time, permanent opportunity with a respected employer.
  • Friendly and supportive working environment.
