Got the licence? Ready to get stuck in? Let's get moving.

We're The Flava People - family-run, fast-growing, and fuelled by flavour.

We're looking for a hands-on Warehouse Operative to join our Warehouse team. This isn't your typical warehouse role. Alongside operating FLTs, you'll be handling large batches of ingredients and products, supporting production, and helping keep our busy operation running smoothly.

If you're qualified in Counterbalance and Reach (with Double Deep Reach experience desirable), enjoy being on the move, and thrive in a fast-paced environment, we'd love to hear from you.

• Managing goods in and goods out processes
• Supporting stock rotation, stock counts and inventory accuracy
• Keeping warehouse areas clean, organised and audit-ready
• Working closely with Production, Supply Chain and Technical teams

This is a physically active role involving regular manual handling, stock movement and picking of large batches of ingredients. You'll spend plenty of time on your feet and be comfortable working at pace in a busy warehouse environment where space can often be a premium.

What You'll Get

• £13.21 per hour
• Opportunities to learn, develop and progress
• A genuinely supportive team environment with a great culture
• Staff discounts, annual bonus and retail perks
• Flava of the Month awards, team events and seasonal surprises
