Despatch - Despatch Operative

This is what you’ll actually do!

As a Warehouse Despatch Operator, you’ll be responsible for accurately picking, packing and preparing customer orders for despatch, making sure the right products, quantities, labels and paperwork are ready to go.

You’ll safely load and unload vehicles using warehouse equipment, including a Counterbalance Forklift Truck, and use handheld scanners and our Warehouse Management System (M3) to process orders and keep stock records accurate.

You’ll help maintain stock accuracy by supporting stock counts, audits and inventory activities, while ensuring products are stored correctly and warehouse locations are kept organised.

Working as part of the night shift team, you’ll manage your workload to meet daily targets and customer requirements, working efficiently while maintaining high standards of safety, quality and customer service.

You’ll also take pride in keeping the warehouse clean, tidy and organised, following our clean-as-you-go approach and all relevant food safety, hygiene, GMP and Health & Safety requirements.
