Job description

Warehouse Team Leader Operations – Bristol

You’ll be managing the day‑to‑day operations, leading your team of 3 through their shifts, and making sure we’re delivering what our customers need, when they need it. Think daily briefings, performance monitoring, sorting issues before they escape, and being the go‑to person between the unit and airside operations.

You’ll be juggling compliance (health and safety, food safety, security – the works), tracking KPIs, attending operational meetings, and stepping in for the Unit Manager when needed. Basically, you’re the person who makes sure everything that should happen, actually happens whilst on your shift.

What’s in it for you:

Let’s be straight – this isn’t a Monday‑to‑Friday office job, but the perks are decent:

• 5 on, 3 off shift pattern (07:00‑16:00 base hours) – proper time off to actually have a life
• Competitive salary of £16.94 phr with room to grow
• Free parking (worth its weight in gold these days)
• Company sick pay and pension scheme
• Paid holidays with regular shift patterns so you can actually plan stuff
• In‑house training to develop your skills
• Employee support programme including free counselling
• Refer a friend bonuses – get your staff referrals in and get paid for it
• Discount platform for everyday shopping
• Cycle to work scheme
• Free uniform and life asurance

Starting March 2026, so plenty of time to get yourself sorted.

What we’re after:

Someone with solid experience leading teams in fast‑paced, deadline‑driven environments. Food, logistics, production, or manufacturing background would be ideal, but what really matters is that you’ve got the backbone to take accountability and the nous to solve problems without constant hand‑holding.

You’ll need A‑levels (or equivalent work experience), a working knowledge of basic hygiene, and the ability to build relationships with all sorts of people. Microsoft Office should be second nature, and you’ll need to be the kind of person who stays calm when things get hectic and can prioritise like a pro.

The reality check:

This is a 7‑day operation, so flexibility matters. You’ll rotate through different departments as needed, manage diverse teams, and be expected to maintain standards across the board – health and safety, food safety, security, the lot.

But if you want a role where you’re genuinely trusted to lead, where your decisions matter, and where you’ll actually see the impact of your work every single day, this could be the one.

Interested? Get in touch. Start date is March 2026.
