• Ensure all warehouse operations are compliant with food safety, hygiene, and health & safety standards
• Drive performance across KPIs such as picking accuracy, loading times, and stock integrity
• Identify and implement continuous improvement opportunities in warehousing processes
• Coach, develop, and support team members to build capability and promote internal progression
• Liaise with production, planning, and transport teams to ensure smooth warehouse-flow and on-time dispatch
• Maintain a clean, organised, and legally compliant warehouse environment
• Lead by example in promoting a culture of safety, accountability, and teamwork
  
  

What We're Looking For

• Experience in a warehouse supervisory or team management role, ideally in food, FMCG, or cold chain environments
• Proven ability to motivate and manage operational teams in a fast-paced environment
• Knowledge of food safety, stock control, and warehouse compliance standards
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills with a hands-on leadership style
• Comfortable using warehouse systems and confident with data/KPI tracking
• A proactive, resilient approach with a passion for process improvement

• Excellent progression and development opportunities within a growing national business
• 15% staff store discount, plus an additional 10% discount for a friend or family member
• Access to a bonus scheme, long service awards, and enhanced family leave
• Health and wellbeing support, including access to a digital GP service
• Free on-site parking and a subsidised canteen
• Work in a well-supported team with a positive and professional culture
