Minster, Kent – moving to Dover in 2027
6am–6pm | 4 days on, 4 days off | Full-time
If you like being busy, working to a clear system and seeing yourself get quicker and better at what you do, this could be a very good fit.
Buy Whole Foods Online is a successful family-run ecommerce business looking for reliable people to join our Despatch team.
You'll use a handheld scanner to pick products from around the warehouse, before packing and preparing customer orders for despatch. The work is active and fast-paced, with clear expectations for both accuracy and productivity.
The process is structured, but the orders are constantly changing. It tends to suit people who can get into a rhythm, stay focused and take satisfaction from doing a job well and efficiently.
Some of our strongest team members have come from fast-paced factories, food production, farming and other environments where maintaining concentration and a good working pace matters.
Previous warehouse experience isn't essential. We'd rather find someone reliable, accurate and willing to learn our system.
What you'll be doing
Picking products using handheld scanners, packing customer orders, checking products for quality and accuracy, replenishing stock and helping the team complete each day's orders.
You'll be active and on your feet for most of the shift.
Shift
4 days on / 4 days off
6:00am–6:00pm

Job Type: Full-time
I deliberately haven't put a huge “Requirements” list in it. I think that was working against you. You want the farm worker, factory worker or very system-minded person to read this and think “I could be good at that”, even if their CV doesn't say warehouse operative.

Expected hours: 35.15 – 47.0 per week
Benefits:
- Company pension
