About us
We are an established online retailer and the authorised UK distributor for a leading brand of horticulture and environmental control equipment. We've been trading for over six years and we're growing — which is where you come in. You'd be joining a small, hands-on operation where your work directly matters, not a faceless fulfilment centre.
The role
You'll be the engine room of our order fulfilment, handling stock from goods-in to dispatch:
- Picking, packing, and dispatching customer orders accurately and on time
- Booking in deliveries, checking stock against purchase orders, and reporting discrepancies
- Keeping the warehouse organised, clean, and safe
- Handling returns: inspecting, testing, and restocking or quarantining items
- Assembling multi-item orders and kits, including bulky items
- Printing labels and processing shipments through our courier systems
- Flagging low stock and helping with periodic stock counts
About you
- Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently without constant supervision
- Physically fit — comfortable lifting boxes up to 25kg and on your feet most of the day
- Accurate and detail-focused: wrong-item dispatches cost us money and reputation
- Comfortable using a computer/handheld scanner for order processing (full training given)
- Warehouse, retail stockroom, or fulfilment experience preferred but not essential — attitude matters more
- Forklift licence: a bonus if you have experience
What we offer
- upto £14.50 per hour with annual reviews
- 20 days holiday plus bank holidays
- Genuine variety — this isn't a repetitive single-task role
- A stable, growing business with a direct line to the owner, not layers of management
Pay: £12.71-£14.50 per hour
Benefits:
- Company pension
- Free parking
Application question(s):
- Are you able to get to East Goscote?
- Do you consent to a DBS check if you are offered a position?
- Do you have warehouse or picking and packing experience?
