Looking for Your Next Warehouse Opportunity?
We're recruiting a Warehouse Operative to join a busy operation in Perth.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys practical, hands-on work, likes being kept busy and takes pride in doing a job properly
With 40 hours per week and a 20% shift allowance, you can earn an estimated £15.84 per hour, making this an excellent short-term opportunity for someone looking to build their warehouse experience while earning a competitive rate.
You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you're reliable, willing to learn, able to follow processes accurately and comfortable with a physical working environment.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Warehouse Operative, you'll play an important part in making sure products are picked, handled and moved safely and accurately.
Your responsibilities will include:
Picking and handling products accurately
Moving products and stock safely around the warehouse
Following established warehouse processes and procedures
Carrying out regular manual handling tasks
Lifting items weighing approximately 7.5kg
Pushing and pulling picking carts as part of your daily duties
Using pallet trucks and other mechanical handling equipment once trained
Supporting the loading of vehicles
Working outdoors when loading vehicles when required
Completing repetitive tasks while maintaining a good level of accuracy
Carrying out safety checks before beginning work
Identifying and reporting errors, hazards or issues
Maintaining high standards of safety, quality and housekeeping
Working closely with colleagues to keep warehouse operations running efficiently
Following all health and safety procedures
Comfortable Working in a Cold Environment?
An important part of this role is working within different temperature-controlled environments.
Up to 60% of your working time may be spent in cold-room temperatures down to approximately 2°C.
We want candidates to know this before applying, so you'll need to be genuinely comfortable working in colder conditions for significant periods of your shift.
What We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who's dependable, hardworking and ready to get stuck in.
You should have:
A reliable and punctual approach to work
A strong work ethic
Good attention to detail
The ability to follow processes and instructions accurately
A willingness to learn new warehouse skills
The ability to recognise and report errors or issues
Good communication skills
Basic computer literacy
A positive approach to working as part of a team
A safety-conscious attitude
The ability to carry out physical and repetitive work
The flexibility to work both early and back shifts
The ability to work comfortably in colder temperatures
Previous Warehouse Experience?
Previous warehouse experience would be useful, but the right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important.
If you've previously worked in warehousing, production, manufacturing, retail stock, logistics or another physical and fast-paced environment, you may already have skills that would transfer well into this position.
Training will help you develop the warehouse and technical skills required for the role.

Could You Be the Right Fit?
This role would suit someone who likes being active rather than sitting behind a desk.
You'll be on your feet for extended periods and the role involves regular walking, lifting, bending, squatting, kneeling, pushing and pulling. You'll also need to be comfortable carrying out repetitive tasks while maintaining accuracy and safety standards.
Reliability is essential. The warehouse relies on everyone working together, so we're looking for someone who can commit to the rotating shift pattern, turn up on time and maintain a good standard throughout their shift.
You'll also need to provide your own suitable safety footwear, and standard background checks will be required.
Interested?
If you're reliable, hardworking, comfortable with physical work and cold-room conditions, and can commit to rotating early and back shifts, we'd love to hear from you.
