£34,000 - £36,000 per annum | Little Barford | Monday-Friday, 7.00am-4.45pm

We're looking for someone who wants to be more than just another pair of hands. If you're practical, energetic, take pride in doing things properly and want to play a genuine part in the success of a growing brand, we'd like to hear from you.

We're looking for a Warehouse & Despatch Operative to join our team at our Little Barford premises. This is a hands-on role at the heart of our operation, helping make sure our products are received, stored, picked, packed, and despatched to the highest standard.

We want someone with drive. Someone who takes ownership. Someone who wants to get behind the brand and be proud of what they help deliver.

What will you be doing?

Picking products accurately and preparing orders for despatch
Packing products to our high presentation standards, ensuring everything leaves site looking professional and ready for the customer
Supporting the despatch of national and international consignments
Checking paperwork, labels, quantities and packaging to make sure orders are right first time
Receiving incoming goods and checking quantities and condition against delivery documentation
Reporting shortages, damage or discrepancies promptly
Keeping stock organised, correctly labelled and easy to find
Supporting regular stock counts and maintaining accurate inventory
Investigating stock discrepancies and helping resolve them
Keeping the warehouse clean, tidy, safe and well organised
Supporting the ongoing improvement of our warehouse environment as we complete our current refurbishment
Working flexibly across Goods In, picking, packing, inventory and despatch depending on what the business needs

In short, you'll help make sure the right products get to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition - every time.
