This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic, fast-paced manufacturing environment where quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do.

This is what you’ll actually do!

You’ll provide hands-on, first-line leadership to the warehouse team during your shift — setting the tone for safe, compliant and efficient operations. Working closely with the Warehouse Shift Lead, you’ll help deliver high-quality warehouse performance, ensuring inventory accuracy, order fulfilment and shift KPIs are consistently achieved.

Day to day, you’ll supervise core warehouse activities including receiving, storage, picking, packing and dispatch. You’ll allocate work effectively, monitor performance throughout the shift and step in quickly when issues arise — either resolving them directly or escalating appropriately.

You’ll play a key role in maintaining high standards across Health & Safety, GMP, HACCP/BRC and SOP compliance. That includes carrying out daily audits of stock and processes, supporting internal and external audits, and assisting with inventory counts to ensure operational integrity.

Beyond the day-to-day, you’ll coach and support your team to improve capability, performance and engagement. You’ll communicate clear objectives and expectations, create accountability within the team and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that reduce waste, improve accuracy and enhance efficiency.

Ultimately, you’ll be the person who keeps the shift running smoothly — ensuring standards are met, the team is supported, and performance stays on track.
