• Ensuring all warehouse procedures are followed in line with company policies and health & safety legislation.
• Monitoring team performance, providing coaching and supporting staff development.
• Producing accurate warehouse records and ensuring system updates are completed correctly.
• Driving continuous improvement by identifying ways to increase efficiency, improve workflow and maximise warehouse space.
• Ensuring warehouse equipment is used safely and maintained correctly.

 

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience within a warehouse or logistics environment.
• Experience leading or supervising a warehouse team.
• Strong understanding of stock control and warehouse operations.
• Experience using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) or similar inventory software.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel.
• A valid Forklift Truck licence would be advantageous but is not essential.

• A confident leader with the ability to motivate and support a team.
• Highly organised with excellent attention to detail.
• Able to prioritise workloads in a fast-paced environment.
• A proactive problem solver with strong decision-making skills.
• A clear communicator who can build positive working relationships across departments.
• Committed to maintaining high standards of health and safety.

• Monday to Friday working hours - no regular weekend work.
• Temp-to-perm opportunity with long-term career prospects.
• Supportive management team.
