Discover the best of both worlds as a Warehouse Operative with Brakes. As the UK industry leader, we offer job security and career development – with the family feel, rewards and recognition of our friendly warehouse team. We take pride in looking after our people.

It starts with a full induction, but with our backing and optional accredited training that includes forklift, first aid and HGV driving, there’s no limit to your potential. In fact, almost 90% of our managers started here. So, once you’re in, there are plenty of opportunities to move shifts, move roles and move up – if that’s what you want to do.

As well as an eye for detail, you’ll need to be comfortable in a cool environment (we’ll provide a free thermal uniform to keep you warm), be physically fit to lift weights of up to 25kg and have your own transport to get here. In return, you’ll enjoy job stability and benefits such as:

Subsidised hot meals via our staff canteen

Heavily discounted quality food through staff sales

Free onsite parking

Generous annual leave with option to buy more

Reward, recognition and referral schemes

Charitable events to get involved with
