You don’t need previous warehouse experience to join us—just enthusiasm, a willingness to learn, and a desire to do a great job! If you’re friendly, eager to learn, and excited about progressing, we’ll provide all the necessary training and development opportunities.

As a Warehouse Operative at our Bicester depot, you’ll pick, pack, and check the quality of ambient, chilled, and frozen food items, preparing them for delivery. The role begins with a full induction, and with our support and optional accredited training—including forklift, first aid, and HGV driving—there’s no limit to your potential. Once in the role, there are opportunities to shift, change roles, and progress within the company.

You should have an eye for detail, be comfortable working in a cool environment (we’ll provide a free thermal uniform), and be able to lift weights of up to 25kg. Please note: Due to poor public transport links to our site, it is a requirement to have your own transport to get to work if successful.

In addition to a competitive monthly salary, 31 days of annual leave (including statutory holidays) and a company pension, you can enjoy the following benefits:

• Wagestream – Access to an app that provides early access to earned salary and supports financial wellbeing
• The option to purchase additional annual leave
• Help at Hand - 24/7 GP appointments, physiotherapy, and other health and wellbeing services for you and your family
• Life assurance
• Access to Sysco Perks for discounts on a wide range of products and services, from gym memberships to groceries
• The ability to purchase our products at heavily discounted prices
