Job description

We’d all like amazing work to do, and real work/life balance. That’s waiting for you right here. Supply Chain and Logistics is the engine room that gets thousands of products from farms and factories, through the business and to millions of customers every day. We plan around everything from barbecue weekends to Sunday roasts, supporting those who want oven‑ready cauliflower cheese and those who prefer to make it from scratch. Insight and data are everything. But so is judgement — when there’s an issue or ambiguity anywhere, we’re often the first to spot it. There’s a big transformation underway. It calls for people who champion change, bring others with them, and collaborate and communicate. Because those people can go a very long way here.

As a Supply Chain Coordinator, you will play a key role in the Supply Chain team by providing administrative support to help drive efficient and effective demand planning and inventory management. Your attention to detail and proactive approach will help maintain supplier relationships and support the overall efficiency of our Supply Chain processes.

Essential:

• Attention to detail - strong ability to spot discrepancies and ensure accuracy in order processing
• Communication skills - excellent verbal and written communication skills for effective supplier interaction
• Analytical skills - ability to analyse data and generate reports
• IT proficiency - familiarity with supply chain management software and Microsoft Office Suite, particularly Excel

• Your wellbeing is important to us too.
• You’ll receive an annual holiday allowance and you can buy up to an additional week’s holiday.
• You also offer other benefits that will help your money go further such as season ticket loans, cycle to work scheme, health cash plans, salary advance (where you can access some of your pay before pay day) as well access to a great range of discounts from hundreds of other retailers.
• And if you ever need it there is also an employee assistance programme.
