Full job description

So, what will I be doing?

Are you an experienced Forklift Operator looking for your next opportunity? Yeo Valley is on the lookout for a reliable and skilled Logistics Operative to join our busy distribution team at Isleport, Somerset. This is a fantastic role for someone who enjoys working in a fast-moving warehouse environment and has solid hands-on experience operating Reach Trucks, Counterbalance Forklifts and other Material Handling Equipment (MHE).

In this role, you’ll be at the heart of our operation – moving stock safely and efficiently, keeping the warehouse flowing, and ensuring every order leaves in perfect condition. Accuracy and attention to detail are key, especially when picking and packing. You’ll also be supporting with stock control, general warehouse duties, and upholding the highest standards of safety and hygiene.

As one of our co-owners put it:
“Working in a chilled warehouse keeps you on your toes – it’s fast-paced, rewarding, and you know you’re part of a team that keeps everything moving.”

We’re ideally looking for someone with a valid (or recently expired) Reach Truck licence and proven forklift/MHE experience in a warehouse or logistics setting. A flexible, safety-first attitude and strong teamwork are essential.

The shift pattern for this position is 4 on 4 off, 20:00pm to 8:00am

Key responsibilities will include:

Operating Reach Trucks, Counterbalance Forklifts and other MHE safely and competently
Booking in stock, storing stock and managing stock-related issues
Undertaking stock checks and maintaining accurate records
Picking and packing orders accurately to meet customer requirements
Ensuring safe use of all equipment and reporting any faults or breakdowns
Maintaining strict Health & Safety and hygiene standards in a chilled environment
Minimising wastage and supporting overall efficiency
This role may also be called "Skilled Operator" Internally

Sounds interesting, what do I need?

Valid (or recently expired) Reach Truck and/or Counterbalance license

Strong practical experience using forklifts and MHE in a warehouse setting
Good communication, numeracy and literacy skills
Ability to work in a physically demanding, chilled environment
Previous experience of warehouse or packing roles is desirable
Food hygiene and Health & Safety certificates (desirable)

Why should I join the family?

We’re independent, British and proud to be making the highest quality yogurts, desserts and ice cream under the Yeo Valley brand and for many of the UK’s major retailers. Operating from four dairies and two logistics centres in Somerset and Devon, we employ over 1900 staff and produce more than 25% of the UK’s packaged yogurt.

We’re sure you don’t need convincing, but there’s a whole host of benefits that we offer including:

competitive holiday allowance
non-contributory pension scheme
life cover
healthcare cash back plan
cycle to work scheme
subsidised Yeo Valley products and services
preferential rates with our partners
learning and development opportunities; we’re committed to ensuring all of our employees have the chance to grow

Our closing dates are a guide for when the application window should close, although we may close the advert sooner if we can. So, we recommend you get your application in straight away – and don’t miss the opportunity to join us!

Unfortunately, we’re not able to provide employment sponsorship to candidates at this moment in time.

Please note that Yeo Valley do not accept speculative agency applications; we will only accept applications from preferred suppliers that have been submitted to us via our recruitment portal at the point of instruction.
