Job description

We’re looking for a Warehouse Operative to join our busy materials conversion team at Baker Labels in Brentwood, Essex.

Are you hardworking, reliable and someone who enjoys a practical, hands-on job? We could have just the opportunity for you!

This is a great opportunity for someone who likes to keep active, enjoys working as part of a team and takes pride in getting the job done properly.

You’ll be joining a friendly, established business where everyone has an important part to play. Whether you’re already familiar with warehouse work or looking to develop your skills in a manufacturing environment, we’re interested in hearing from people with a positive attitude and a willingness to get stuck in.

What You’ll Be Doing

Our materials conversion facility is an important part of the Bakers operation, helping us prepare and supply the materials used in label production.

As a Warehouse Operative, you’ll be helping to keep things organised, supporting our production team and making sure materials are ready when they’re needed.

Your main responsibilities will include:

• Loading materials onto our slitting machines to support production.
• Handling and moving materials safely around the warehouse.
• Carrying out general warehouse and housekeeping duties.
• Keeping your working area clean, tidy and organised.
• Working alongside colleagues to help maintain an efficient and safe working environment.

It’s a physical, hands-on role where good teamwork, reliability and attention to detail really count.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not expecting you to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you’re dependable, willing to learn and happy to get involved.

Skills and Qualities

• A hardworking, reliable and positive attitude.
• Some knowledge or experience of warehouse work or materials handling would be helpful.
• Good physical fitness and the ability to carry out regular manual handling duties.
• A willingness to learn new skills and embrace training and continuous improvement.
• Good verbal and written communication skills.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• An organised, methodical approach to your work.

A forklift truck licence would be an advantage, but it’s not essential.

What Would Make You a Great Fit?

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, turns up ready to get stuck in and is happy to help their colleagues.

You don’t need to be an expert in label materials or slitting machines. A good attitude, a willingness to learn and a bit of common sense go a long way at Bakers!

If you’re someone who likes being busy, enjoys practical work and can be relied upon to do things properly, we’d love to hear from you.

Why Work at Bakers?

Baker Labels is an independent, family-run business that’s been part of the Essex manufacturing community since 1973.

We’ve grown a lot over the years, investing in new technology, facilities and opportunities, but we’re still very much a people-focused company.

We believe in treating people well, encouraging teamwork and creating an environment where everyone feels part of the business.

You’ll be joining an experienced and supportive team, with opportunities to learn new skills and develop your knowledge of our materials and production processes.

And because we know there’s more to working life than just the job itself, we put plenty of effort into looking after our people too.

What’s in It for You?

As part of the Bakers team, you’ll enjoy:

• Salary dependent on experience
• Training and development opportunities
• Profit-related bonus after six months’ service
• Wellbeing at work programme
• Free on-site staff gym
• Regular social and team-building events

Ready to Join the Team?

If you’re looking for a practical, hands‑on job with a friendly, established company, this could be just what you’re looking for.

We’re interested in people who are willing to work hard, learn new things and take pride in being part of a team.

Sound like you? We’d love to hear from you!
