This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced warehouse professional who enjoys taking ownership of their workload and working independently.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the warehouse, including goods in and out, stock control, product assembly and quality checking.
As you will be working independently within the warehouse for much of the day, we are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and goal-oriented, with the confidence to manage their own workload while remaining flexible and supportive of the wider team.

Key Responsibilities

• Loading and unloading incoming and outgoing deliveries
• Receiving, checking and processing customer orders
• Assembling products in line with company specifications
• Carrying out quality checks to ensure products meet required standards
• Managing stock levels and maintaining accurate inventory records
• Using basic IT systems to process orders and update stock information
• Operating a counterbalance forklift, once appropriately trained and authorised
• Organising and maintaining the warehouse to ensure efficient daily operations
• Prioritising daily tasks and managing workloads independently
• Supporting the wider team with additional duties as required

Skills, Experience & Training Requirements

• Previous experience in a warehouse, stores or logistics environment
• Counterbalance forklift experience or a valid licence would be advantageous, although training can be provided
• Experience with stock control, goods in and goods out
• Basic computer skills and confidence using stock management systems
• Good attention to detail, particularly when assembling and quality-checking products
• Strong organisational and time-management skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision
• A flexible and practical approach to work

Our Ideal Candidate
We are looking for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys being trusted to manage their own responsibilities.
You will be self-motivated, reliable and results-driven, with the ability to identify what needs doing and take the initiative without constant direction.
Although you will be working independently in the warehouse, you will also be part of a wider team, so a positive attitude, strong communication skills and willingness to help wherever needed are essential.
This position would particularly suit someone who enjoys a varied, hands-on role and is looking for a long-term opportunity where they can make a real contribution to the business.
