Job Description:

Warehouse & FLT Operative (with Van Driving)

Location: Trafford Park, Manchester
Hours: Monday-Friday, 8am-4pm (37.5 hours per week)
Salary: £26,227.50 per annum
Annual Leave: 27 days plus 8 statutory bank holidays
Start: Subject to a basic DBS check (cost reimbursed)

Why This Role Stands Out
This is an excellent opportunity to join a stable, well‑established and growing business with a friendly on‑site team of around 20 people. The role offers a balanced mix of warehouse work and local deliveries, ideal for someone who enjoys variety, autonomy, and being part of a close‑knit operation. There’s no regular overtime, meaning you can enjoy a predictable work–life balance whilst still being part of a busy, productive environment.
