You’ll provide clear direction throughout the shift, guiding colleagues and building capability whilst monitoring output, flow and progress. You’ll use daily reports and KPI’s to track performance and drive improvements, resolving issues quickly to minimise disruption.

• Pension scheme to help you plan for your future. We’ll match your contributions up to 7%
• Confidential employee assistance app and helpline to help you with your wellbeing
• Longserviceawards celebrating key milestones in your career
• Savings and discounts for your everyday shopping, leisure and wellbeing

About you

Ideally, you'll have previously worked as a Warehouse Lead within a similar environment. You'll also need:

• Experience of team leadership or management.
• Excellent organisation and planning skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
• To be comfortable working in a physical role, lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling of cages, as well as other manual tasks
• To be able to work in cold areas of the warehouse (warm PPE will be provided)
• Be supportive of an inclusive culture - recognising and valuing that difference is good

Experience of Microsoft IT packages and SAP systems would also be beneficial but isn't essential.

If you're enthusiastic, reliable, comfortable with working shifts which could include nights, weekends and bank holidays, to start your career at Greggs!
