This is not just a supervisory role- it is a visible, active position that requires presence, engagement, and ownership.

You will be leading a capable Stock and Admin team, where everyone’s input matters. Your ability to guide, support, and develop others while ensuring operational excellence will be key to success.

• Oversee and contribute to all admin-related tasks, including despatch paperwork, stock reporting, and hub metrics input.
• Ensure all updates to the warehouse management system (SAP) are timely, accurate, and complete.
• Be the first point of contact for your team regarding stock and admin queries, task assignments, or process clarification.
• Collaborate with the Stock Control Supervisor to identify, report, and resolve recurring stock issues or system discrepancies.
• Maintain strong visibility across all storage zones—racking, floor locations, quarantine, and returns—to uphold stock integrity.
• Keep comprehensive records for internal audits, inventory checks, and required operational reporting.
• Uphold and promote company health & safety standards and maintain clean, organised working environments.
• Provide practical support during staff absences, sales volume peaks, or other operational challenges.
• Play an active role in onboarding and training new team members, ensuring they understand procedures and expectations.
• Drive a culture of ownership and accountability within the team, encouraging open communication and continuous improvement

YOU MUST HAVE:

• Proven experience in a warehouse stock control/ admin or warehouse operations-focused role is essential.
• Demonstrated ability to lead by example in a hands-on, supportive, and engaging manner.
• Proficient in warehouse management systems (WMS), ideally SAP, and strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

• Confident communicator with the ability to coordinate tasks, resolve issues, and motivate others.
• Resilient under pressure, with the ability to meet deadlines and manage changing priorities.
