We're looking for a Team Leader to work alongside and report to the shift manager, assisting with overseeing our warehouse operation. Ensuring smooth, safe, and efficient stock flow through the warehouse.

• Manage the end‑to‑end operation, ensuring stock moves quickly and accurately, with minimal delays.
• Team Leadership & Engagement – Motivate, coach, and support a small team. You'll set the tone for the shift, fostering a culture of ownership, teamwork, and accountability.
• Operational Management – Stay on top of stock levels, warehouse organisation, and inventory accuracy. Tackle operational issues before they become problems.
• Planning & Scheduling – Develop daily shift plans, allocate tasks, and keep everything running to schedule— even when the unexpected happens.
• Effective Communication – Keep your team aligned with priorities, changes, and safety updates throughout the shift.
• WMS Monitoring – Perform regular checks using the Warehouse Management System (WMS) to catch and fix stock discrepancies early.
• Housekeeping & Safety – Drive high standards of cleanliness and safety during the night shift — setting the example and ensuring compliance.

• Experience in warehouse operations, ideally with exposure to fast‑moving logistics environments.
• Strong leadership skills, with a proven ability to engage and motivate teams.
• Excellent planning and organisational ability, with confidence in managing time‑sensitive tasks and shifting priorities.
• WMS experience – you're comfortable using systems to monitor and manage inventory.
• Resilience under pressure – you’re calm, solutions‑focused, and quick‑thinking when challenges arise.
• MHE licence is a plus, but not essential.

• A permanent opportunity with a direct employer; we will not employ you through an agency.
• Opportunity to develop a career within an industry‑leading global company.
• Opportunity to earn an extra day of annual leave each year, up to the maximum of one extra week for length of service.
