THE JOB

The role involves supporting the daily logistics functions, ensuring the smooth flow of goods both inbound and outbound, and contributing to the efficient running of the warehouse. If you enjoy a varied role that keeps you active and organised, then this could be the perfect fit for you.

Your responsibilities will include:

Receive, check, and inspect inbound deliveries for damage and discrepancies
	
Assist with unloading deliveries safely using appropriate equipment
	
Accurately store goods in designated warehouse locations
	
Support stock replenishment, inventory counts, and cycle counting activities
	
Ensure the cleanliness, safety, and organisation of the warehouse and shipping areas
	
Help manage warehouse supplies, including packaging materials and equipment.

THE PERSON

Experience in shipping, warehouse receiving, or general logistics roles
	
Strong organisational skills with a keen eye for detail
	
Reliable and able to work independently or as part of a team
	
Basic computer skills, including familiarity with email, spreadsheets, and shipping systems
	
Physical ability to handle manual or mechanical unloading tasks
	
Existing forklift or pallet truck licences are a plus but not essential

This position offers standard working hours from 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Thursday, and 8.30am to 4pm on Fridays, providing a good work-life balance. It’s a fantastic chance to gain hands-on logistics experience within a supportive company environment, with the opportunity to grow your skills and contribute to a busy warehouse team.

If you’re organised, proactive, and ready to take on this varied role, we’d love to hear from you.
