Job Description: Warehouse Operative
Location: Blackpool, Lancashire
Job Type: Full-time, Permanent
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM (37.5 hours per week)
Salary: £13.50 per hour (Plus potential overtime rates)
Job Purpose
We are seeking a reliable, hard-working, and physically fit Warehouse Operative to join
our team in a busy Blackpool warehouse. Operating on a consistent daytime shift from
Monday to Friday (8am–4pm), you will play a vital role in handling construction
materials, home decor products, and solar panels.
While the core hours are weekdays, flexibility is required to work overtime or
weekends during peak business seasons, such as the Black Friday period.
Previous warehouse experience is desirable but not essential as full training will be
provided. A valid Forklift Truck (FLT) licence is also highly advantageous due to the
bulky nature of our stock.
Key Responsibilities
● Specialised Stock Handling: Safely move, store, and organise a diverse
inventory ranging from fragile home decor items to heavy construction products
and high-value solar panels.
● Order Picking & Packing: Accurately select items from stock according to pick
sheets or scanning systems, ensuring careful packing to prevent damage during
transit.
● Loading & Unloading: Assist with unloading heavy deliveries from incoming
vehicles and loading dispatch containers or delivery vans efficiently.
● Stock Control: Help with inventory management, stock rotation, pallet building,
labelling, and reporting any stock discrepancies.
● Manual Handling: Move, lift, and stack items manually throughout the day to
keep the operation running smoothly.
● Housekeeping: Maintain a clean, organised, and tidy warehouse environment,
ensuring that bulky items do not block walkways, fire exits, or packing stations.
● Health & Safety: Strictly adhere to all company safety guidelines, safe lifting
techniques, and operational protocols.
