What You’ll Be Doing

As a Warehouse Colleague, you’ll be a key part of ensuring our stores are well-stocked and our customers are well-served.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Picking and preparing stock for delivery using MHE (full training provided)
• Building accurate and secure pallets ready for transport
• Maintaining high standards of accuracy, safety, and teamwork

No experience? No problem. Full training will be provided — including how to safely operate Low-Level Order Pickers (LLOPs).

What We’re Looking For

• Team players with a positive attitude and good attention to detail
• Self-motivated individuals who can work independently and hit performance targets
• Comfortable with manual handling in a fast-paced environment
• While warehouse experience is a plus, it’s not essential – we’ll train the right people
• No chilled or freezer work involved
