Rotating Shift Pattern

Looking for Your Next Warehouse Opportunity? We’re recruiting a Warehouse Operative to join a busy operation in Perth.

This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys practical, hands‑on work, likes being kept busy and takes pride in doing a job properly.

With 40 hours per week and a 20% shift allowance, you can earn an estimated £15.84 per hour, making this an excellent short‑term opportunity for someone looking to build their warehouse experience while earning a competitive rate.

You don’t need to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you’re reliable, willing to learn, able to follow processes accurately and comfortable with a physical working environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Picking and handling products accurately
• Moving products and stock safely around the warehouse
• Following established warehouse processes and procedures
• Carrying out regular manual handling tasks
• Lifting items weighing approximately 7.5kg
• Pushing and pulling picking carts as part of your daily duties
• Using pallet trucks and other mechanical handling equipment once trained
• Supporting the loading of vehicles
• Working outdoors when loading vehicles when required
• Completing repetitive tasks while maintaining a good level of accuracy
• Carrying out safety checks before beginning work
• Identifying and reporting errors, hazards or issues
• Maintaining high standards of safety, quality and housekeeping
• Working closely with colleagues to keep warehouse operations running efficiently
• Following all health and safety procedures

Comfortable Working in a Cold Environment?

An important part of this role is working within different temperature‑controlled environments. Up to 60% of your working time may be spent in cold‑room temperatures down to approximately 2°C.

We want candidates to know this before applying, so you’ll need to be genuinely comfortable working in colder conditions for significant periods of your shift.

What We’re Looking For

• A reliable and punctual approach to work
• A strong work ethic
• Good attention to detail
• The ability to follow processes and instructions accurately
• A willingness to learn new warehouse skills
• The ability to recognise and report errors or issues
• Good communication skills
• Basic computer literacy
• A positive approach to working as part of a team
• A safety‑conscious attitude
• The ability to carry out physical and repetitive work
• The flexibility to work both early and back shifts
• The ability to work comfortably in colder temperatures

Previous Warehouse Experience?

Previous warehouse experience would be useful, but the right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important.

If you’ve previously worked in warehousing, production, manufacturing, retail stock, logistics or another physical and fast‑paced environment, you may already have skills that would transfer well into this position.

Training will help you develop the warehouse and technical skills required for the role.

What’s in It for You?

• £13.20 per hour
• 20% shift allowance
• Estimated £15.84 per hour including shift allowance
• 40 hours per week
• Full‑time hours
• Immediate start available
• Overtime when required
• Training and development of warehouse skills
• Opportunity to gain valuable warehouse experience
• Work as part of an established team

Could You Be the Right Fit?

This role would suit someone who likes being active rather than sitting behind a desk.

You’ll be on your feet for extended periods and the role involves regular walking, lifting, bending, squatting, kneeling, pushing and pulling. You’ll also need to be comfortable carrying out repetitive tasks while maintaining accuracy and safety standards.

Reliability is essential. The warehouse relies on everyone working together, so we’re looking for someone who can commit to the rotating shift pattern, turn up on time and maintain a good standard throughout their shift.

You’ll also need to provide your own suitable safety footwear, and standard background checks will be required.
