What You’ll Be Doing:

• Accurate Picking and Packing: You’ll be responsible for picking and packing products for orders with precision. Your keen eye for detail will ensure that every item is picked and packed accurately. This process is crucial to maintaining our high standards and ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Loading and Unloading: Think of this as your daily workout! You’ll be loading and unloading delivery vehicles, ensuring that goods are handled with care and loaded safely. Physical fitness is important, as you’ll be moving and lifting items throughout your shift.
• Stock Management and Record Keeping: You will store stock in designated locations and maintain accurate records. This ensures that inventory levels are correctly maintained and that stock is easily accessible for order fulfilment.
• Maintaining a Tidy and Safe Warehouse: You’ll ensure that the warehouse remains tidy and free from hazards. A clutter-free environment is crucial for safety and efficiency, and you’ll be proactive in identifying and eliminating potential trip hazards.
• Labelling and Paperwork: You’ll make sure that all goods are labelled correctly and that accompanying paperwork is accurate. This attention to detail ensures that products are easily identified and traced.
• Reporting Issues: You’ll be vigilant in spotting and reporting any damaged or missing items to your supervisor. This ensures that we maintain the integrity of our inventory and address any issues promptly.
• Health and Safety Compliance: You’ll adhere to all health and safety protocols, ensuring a secure working environment for yourself and your colleagues.

• Attention to Detail: A good eye for detail is essential. You’ll need to ensure accuracy in all tasks, from picking and packing to labelling and paperwork.
• Team Player: You should be comfortable working both as part of a team and independently. Collaboration and communication are key to success in this role.
• Physical Fitness: The role involves lifting and moving, so physical fitness is important to handle the demands of the job.
• Experience: Previous experience in a warehouse environment is beneficial, but not essential. We are more interested in your attitude and willingness to learn.
• Flexibility: You’ll need to be flexible with your working hours, as shifts will include weekdays and weekends.
