Job description

• Carry out stock counts and assist with inventory control and record-keeping.
• Maintain a clean, organised and safe warehouse, including layout improvements and general housekeeping.
• Support colleagues and other operational tasks during busy periods and seasonal peaks.

Essential Skills & Experience

• Previous experience in a fulfilment, warehouse, or logistics environment
• Comfortable working in an active warehouse environment, including receiving deliveries, moving stock and supporting the day-to-day running of the warehouse.
• Excellent attention to detail, with good organisational and time-management skills.
• Technically confident and comfortable learning new warehouse and fulfilment systems.
• Able to work independently and as part of a small team.
• Reliable, punctual and hardworking, with a positive, willing-to-learn attitude.
• Physically able to carry out warehouse duties, including lifting and standing for extended periods.

Desirable Skills

• Experience using Linnworks or similar warehouse/order management software.
• Previous eCommerce fulfilment experience.
• Experience using barcode scanners and shipping systems.
• Basic stock control or inventory experience.
• Experience preparing Amazon FBA shipments.
