• Ensure stock movements and inventory transactions are accurately recorded electronically.
• Coordinate with transport and internal departments to meet delivery schedules.
• Investigate and resolve system, stock, or dispatch discrepancies promptly.
• Monitor team performance, productivity, and KPIs.
• Ensure compliance with health & safety procedures and warehouse best practice.
• Identify opportunities to improve dispatch processes and operational efficiency.

About You

• Previous experience as a Warehouse Team Leader, Dispatch Supervisor, Warehouse Supervisor, or similar.
• Strong experience within a system-driven warehouse environment using WMS or ERP systems.
• Good understanding of dispatch, shipping, logistics, and outbound operations.
• Experience supervising warehouse teams and allocating workloads.
• Confidence using warehouse technology, handheld scanners, and computer-based systems.
• Excellent organisational, communication, and problem-solving skills.
• A proactive, hands-on leadership style with the ability to work under pressure.
• Forklift licence desirable but not essential.

What's on Offer?

• Salary from £35,000+, depending on experience.
• Monday to Friday late shift - no weekend working.
• Stable and growing business.
• Modern warehouse operation with technology-driven processes.
• Genuine opportunities for progression into senior warehouse management.
• Supportive team environment with ongoing development.

If you have experience leading dispatch operations in a systems-led warehouse environment and are looking for your next challenge, we'd love to hear from you.
