We are looking for a reliable and organised person to support our Inventory and Stock Operative with the day-to-day handling, inspection and preparation of stock and returned merchandise.
This is a hands-on role involving stock handling, returns processing and product preparation. Applicants should be comfortable working on their feet and lifting and moving boxes of stock as part of their day-to-day duties.
The role is based at our Head Office in a lovely rural countryside location outside Nantwich. Please note that reliable transport is important due to limited public transport links.
No previous experience is required, as full training will be provided. This role would suit a university student, recent graduate, or anyone looking for temporary part-time work over the summer, including those seeking a short-term opportunity between roles.
Key responsibilities include:
- Unpack returned merchandise and check associated paperwork.
- Quality check returned items to ensure only suitable products are returned to stock.

- Prepare and label inventory and shipments.
- Assist with picking and packing stock for Amazon warehouses.
- Carry out basic data entry, including Microsoft Excel.
- Maintain a clean, safe and organised work area.
- Assist with other ad hoc tasks as required.
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Reliable, punctual and willing to get stuck in.
- Practical, organised and detail-focused.
- Comfortable with hands-on, physical work.
- Able to follow instructions carefully.
- Able to work as part of a team and independently on routine tasks once trained.
- Committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy and presentation.
- Able to travel reliably to our rural Head Office location.
Experience handling stock, inventory or retail products would be beneficial, but it is not essential. Basic Microsoft Excel experience would also be useful, but full training will be provided.
