Warehouse Coordinator – Full Time (Preston, PR1)
About Us
Northern Label Systems Ltd is a well-established, family-run business founded in 2003. Based near the centre of Preston on Ribbleton Lane, we supply labels and related products to businesses across the UK.
We're a small, friendly team who take pride in working together in a positive, supportive environment. Due to continued growth, we're looking for a dependable, organised and detail-focused individual to join us.
The Role
This is a key position within our business.
Our customers rely on us to deliver the correct products quickly and accurately, every single time. We are looking for someone who takes pride in getting things right, works with care and consistency, and enjoys being part of a team that values accuracy and reliability.
Responsible for ensuring every order leaves accurately and on time, you'll handle goods in, stock organisation, picking, packing, quality control and help improve warehouse processes.
This is not simply a picking and packing role. We are looking for someone who will take ownership of their work, help maintain high standards throughout the warehouse and contribute to making our operations more efficient over time.

- Pick and pack customer orders accurately
- Check order accuracy before dispatch
- Prepare parcels and pallet shipments
- Receive and book in stock deliveries

- Physically active and comfortable on their feet throughout the day
- Conscientious
- Able to work at pace without sacrificing accuracy
- Reliable and dependable
- Someone who takes pride in their work
- Able to work unsupervised and manage their workload effectively
- Positive and easy to work with
This role is particularly suited to someone who enjoys completing tasks properly, maintaining high standards and taking responsibility for the quality of their work.
This role is not suited to someone who prefers constant variety, dislikes routine or struggles to maintain accuracy when working at pace.
