Job description

Location: Sustainability Way, Leyland, PR26 6TB

Are you a night owl with a "can-do" attitude and an eye for detail? Do you have what it takes to keep things flowing when the rest of the world is dreaming?

At our Skelmersdale hub, we don’t just "tread water"—we’re a leading online bathroom retailer, and we’re looking for a Warehouse Shift Manager to dive into the deep end and lead our Night Shift team. Whether it’s ensuring our baths are dispatched or making sure our Tiles department stays on solid ground, you’ll be the person keeping our operations from going down the drain.

The Package

• Base Salary: £32,246.82
• Night Premium: +£1.81 per hour (additional)
• The Shift: Wednesday-Saturday | 20:00 – 07:00
• Location: Sustainability Way, Leyland, PR26 6TB

The Role: What’s on the Tap?

You won't just be "glazing" over the details. As the Night Shift Manager, you are the primary custodian of our nocturnal cycle. You’ll lead a team of Team Leaders and Operatives to ensure every order is picked, packed, and dispatched with precision.

Your Daily (or Nightly) Splash Will Include

• Full Flow Management: Overseeing goods-in, replenishment, and dispatch. If a vehicle needs to leave, you’ll make sure it’s loaded and ready to roll.
• Tiling the Way: Managing our busy Tiles department, ensuring stock integrity and careful handling of our most fragile (and stylish) products.
• Keeping it Sparkling: Acting as the health and safety champion. You’ll ensure the warehouse is safe, compliant!
• Dynamic Leadership: Monitoring productivity in real-time, smashing KPIs (not tiles), and reallocating resources to fix any "leaks" in the workflow.
• People Power: Conducting briefings, managing rotas, and coaching your team to reach peak performance.

Are You the Perfect Fit?

We’re looking for someone who doesn’t crack under pressure. To succeed, you’ll need:

• Experience: 3+ years in a management or high-level supervisory role within logistics or distribution.
• Tech Savvy: Advanced competency in WMS and Microsoft Excel (you should be able to navigate a spreadsheet as easily as a shower enclosure).
• Solid Leadership: A "firm but fair" approach. You know how to motivate a team at 3:00 AM and keep spirits high.
• The "Grout" that Holds Us Together: Exceptional communication skills and a resilient, autonomous mindset.
• Bonus Points: If you hold an ILM/CMI qualification or have IOSH/NEBOSH certification, you’re already ahead of the curve!

Why Join Us?

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly make a splash and take ownership of a critical part of the supply chain, we want to hear from you. We offer a competitive salary, a consistent shift pattern, and a work environment that is anything but "bog-standard".
