Christmas at M&S is all about those little things that make the season special. From festive favourites and delicious treats to the food that brings everyone together.

At Gist, part of the M&S Group, we're looking for Warehouse Operatives to join our team at Chesterfield, helping keep M&S stores stocked with the products customers know and love.

You’ll be joining us at one of the busiest and most exciting times of the year, but this isn't just a job for Christmas. It's a permanent opportunity with regular hours, great benefits and the chance to build your future with us.

And there's an extra festive treat too! Eligible colleagues can receive a Christmas bonus of £500

Helping make Christmas happen

Our warehouses are at the heart of the M&S Food supply chain, and at Christmas, the work we do matters more than ever.

As a Warehouse Operative, you'll be part of the team making sure everything from everyday essentials to festive favourites is picked, prepared and ready to reach M&S stores safely and on time.

Depending on the operation, your day could include:

• Picking and preparing products for dispatch
• Loading and unloading vehicles
• Scanning and checking stock
• Moving goods safely around the warehouse
• Using warehouse equipment and systems, with full training provided
• Working to accuracy, productivity and safety standards
• Supporting your teammates to keep everything moving

It's a hands-on, active role where you'll be on your feet throughout your shift. We’ll provide the training, equipment and support you need to get started.

Something to look forward to, long after Christmas

Joining Gist means becoming part of a business that keeps M&S moving all year round.

And while Christmas might be where your journey starts, there's plenty more to look forward to:

• Regular, contracted hours
• Full training and opportunities to develop new skills
• Opportunities to grow and progress within the business
• Pension scheme with life assurance
• Employee Assistance Programme
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Discounts at major retailers and restaurants
• Free on-site parking
• A friendly, supportive team

Could you be part of our team?

Ideally, you'll have some previous warehouse experience and be comfortable working in a busy, fast-paced environment. But just as important to us is your attitude, reliability and willingness to get stuck in. We’ll make sure you have the training and support you need to settle into the team.

We're looking for people who:

• Enjoy being part of a team
• Are reliable, positive and ready to get stuck in
• Take pride in doing a good job
• Can work safely and accurately in a busy environment
• Are comfortable with the physical nature of warehouse work
• Are happy working in a cold environment
• Can commit to the advertised shift pattern
• Are keen to learn and build their experience
