About the role

Working a 4 on 4 off days shift pattern, you’ll support the day to day warehouse operation, ensuring fresh produce is handled, allocated, and dispatched accurately and on time. This is a fast moving role where attention to detail and teamwork are essential.

You will be responsible for:

About you 

You’ll hold a valid FLT licence and ideally have previous warehouse experience. You’ll be proactive, organised, and able to manage your workload while working to tight deadlines. Good communication skills and basic numeracy are important, along with the ability to work accurately in a loud, fast‑paced environment.

You’ll thrive in this role if you take ownership of your work, stay focused under pressure, and enjoy being part of a team that keeps operations moving smoothly.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
