• Start plan: paid induction on 30th September, followed by paid taster sessions and training days over the following weeks
• Full start date expected from the end of October, once workers have completed the introductory training period
• Overtime available depending on business requirements, paid after 37.5 hours

• The ability to work independently and as part of a team
• A good approach to safety and following procedures
• The ability to work in a busy, fast‑paced warehouse
• A willingness to get stuck in and work hard

Driving Opportunities:

Full UK driving licence is desirable as there may be occasional opportunities to work as a Driver’s Mate or provide driving cover.

Driving would be very rare and only as a last resort. The largest vehicle would be a Luton van under 3.5 tonnes, which can be driven on a standard UK licence.

• Structured, paid induction and training period so you feel confident, fully equipped and clear on the role before peak season
