Picking and packing orders accurately

Scanning and processing items

Working flexibly across the operation depending on the priorities of the day
-
Helping your colleagues and contributing to the wider success of the warehouse team
We’re looking for someone who is:
-
Proactive and willing to get stuck in
-
Reliable and committed
-
Flexible in their approach to work
-
Comfortable with manual handling and heavy lifting
-
Happy carrying out a variety of warehouse duties rather than spending the entire day operating a truck
-
A genuine team player who enjoys helping others
-
Looking for a long-term, permanent opportunity
Working hours
You'll normally work 8:30am–5:00pm Monday to Thursday, with an earlier finish of 2:45pm on Fridays.
During the company's busier spring and summer months, there may be occasions when you're required to start earlier. However, these additional hours will be banked and can be taken back as additional leave later in the year, giving you some extra time off during quieter periods.
