About the Role

Our stores are packed with thousands of products, from clothes and household items to tinned foods and frozen goods, and without our warehouse teams they wouldn't be on the shelves for our customers. Our warehouse teams pick and organise the right products to make sure they all get to the right stores at the right time - it's a vital part of our supply chain. You'll be responsible for driving performance and encouraging a teamwork mentality. You will deliver coaching support development within your team and hold regular team ‘huddles' to ensure your team are kept engaged and up to date. If you're looking for a chance to develop in logistics, this could be the role for you! We'll work with you on your shifts, however the role will involve late and weekend working.
