FLT / COUNTERBALANCE DRIVER

FLT Warehouse Operative – Counterbalance Temporary Work | Fixed Shifts | IMMEDIATE START £15 per hour We’re looking for reliable, hardworking Warehouse Operatives with an in-date Counterbalance Forklift Licence to join a busy seasonal operation. This isn’t a role where you’ll spend your entire shift sitting on a forklift. You’ll be part of the wider warehouse team, so you need to be just as happy picking, packing and getting stuck into general warehouse work as you are driving an FLT. The warehouse itself is clean, spacious and well organised, with a friendly, hardworking team. The Role You’ll be supporting the warehouse during its busiest seasonal period, with duties including: Operating a Counterbalance Forklift safely and confidently Moving and positioning stock throughout the warehouse Picking and packing orders Loading and unloading General warehouse duties Keeping your working area clean, organised and safe Working closely with the wider warehouse team to keep things moving What You’ll Need To be considered, you must: Hold a valid Counterbalance Forklift Licence Have had your licence issued or refreshed within the last 3 years Have at least 1 year's practical Counterbalance FLT driving experience Be happy to carry out general warehouse work alongside forklift driving Be reliable and committed to your agreed shifts Have your own transport – the location and shift times mean you cannot be reliant on taxis Be comfortable working in a busy, hands-on environment Be prepared to wear the required hi-vis PPE Fixed Shifts Afternoon Shift Monday to Friday: 3:00pm – 1:00am What You Might Not Like We’d rather be upfront.

Returns Processing Operative - 6am-2pm

Returns Processing Operative - 6am-2pm Wellingborough / Permanent Contract / £27,000 pa ASAP START! If you like a role where you’re busy, moving around and actually getting stuck in - but you’re also pretty handy when it comes to systems, paperwork and keeping things organised - this could be a really good fit. This is not an office-based admin role. You’ll be working on the warehouse shopfloor, physically handling returned products, checking what has come back, making sure everything is recorded correctly and completing the administration that goes alongside it. The Role You’ll be responsible for helping manage the returns process from the moment products arrive back into the warehouse. Some of your day will involve physically handling, checking and moving stock. The rest will involve updating systems, recording information and making sure each return is processed correctly. It’s a role for someone who doesn’t mind rolling their sleeves up but is equally comfortable sitting down at a computer and getting the details right. What You’ll Be Doing Receiving and physically handling returned goods. Checking returned products against the relevant paperwork and system information. Inspecting items and identifying any damage, discrepancies or issues. Sorting and processing returns correctly. Updating internal systems with accurate information. Completing the administration and paperwork associated with each return. Moving and organising stock within the returns area. Liaising with colleagues where there are discrepancies or further information is needed. Making sure returns are processed accurately and within the required timescales. Keeping the returns area organised, safe and tidy. Following warehouse and health & safety procedures. What You’ll Need You’ll be comfortable working in a hands-on warehouse environment. You’ll be happy carrying out manual handling/Heavy lifting as part of your normal working day. You’ll have good attention to detail and notice when something doesn’t quite add up. You’ll be comfortable using computers and updating systems. You’ll be able to follow a process without cutting corners. You’ll be organised enough to manage both physical stock and the paperwork behind it. You’ll communicate well with the people around you. Previous warehouse, returns, stock control or administration experience would be useful. Most importantly, you need to be someone who understands that getting the physical return right is only half the job - the system needs to be right too. What You Might Not Like Let’s get this bit out of the way. If you’re looking for a traditional administration role where you’ll be sitting at a desk for most of the day, this isn’t it. You will be based on the warehouse shopfloor. There is manual handling involved, you’ll be dealing with physical products and you’ll be on your feet for a good part of the day. Equally, if paperwork and computer systems make you want to quietly disappear behind a pallet, this probably isn’t for you either. This role genuinely needs someone who is comfortable doing both. What To Do Next If you like being busy, enjoy a role with a bit of variety and you’re the sort of person who wants things processed properly rather than just pushed onto the next person, we’d love to hear from you. Apply and we’ll tell you the good, the bad and everything in between so you can decide whether it’s right for you.

Stock Controller - 6am - 2pm

Warehouse Stock Controller - 6am-2pm 📍 Wellingborough | 💷 £27K pa | Monday-Friday | 6am-2pm Monday to Friday If stock accuracy matters to you more than simply moving pallets, keep reading... This isn't a warehouse operative role with the occasional stock count thrown in. We're looking for someone whose experience is genuinely stock control focused. Someone who enjoys investigating discrepancies, understands inventory inside out and takes pride in keeping stock files accurate from day one. The hiring manager is keen to find someone who has worked in a dedicated Stock Controller or Inventory Controller position, rather than someone who's only carried out stock duties as part of a warehouse role. If you've built your career around stock integrity, you'll fit right in. You'll be trusted to work independently across the warehouse, carrying out cycle counts, investigating issues and ensuring inventory remains accurate across both the Warehouse Management System and ERP system. Attention to detail and ownership are absolutely key. What you'll be doing Carrying out cycle counts and stock checks. Investigating stock discrepancies and identifying root causes. Maintaining accurate inventory records across WMS and ERP systems. Monitoring inbound and outbound stock movements. Supporting Goods In and Goods Out to ensure stock accuracy. Producing stock reports and analysing trends. Assisting with stock audits and reconciliations. Identifying damaged, obsolete or slow-moving stock. Working closely with operational teams to resolve stock issues quickly. Helping maintain a safe, organised and efficient warehouse. We're looking for someone who has: Previous experience as a Stock Controller, Inventory Controller or Inventory Clerk. Experience using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS). An understanding of ERP systems and how they interact with warehouse operations. Experience carrying out stock investigations. Excellent attention to detail. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Confidence working independently and taking ownership of their workload. Good communication skills and the ability to work with multiple departments. A genuine passion for stock accuracy rather than general warehouse operations. Why you'll enjoy this role You'll be joining a warehouse where stock accuracy isn't treated as an afterthought - it's a priority. The business is investing in building the right team from the ground up and wants people who take pride in getting things right first time. You'll have the autonomy to manage your own workload, the support of an experienced leadership team and the opportunity to play a key part in maintaining the integrity of the warehouse operation from day one. If you're the type of person who can't walk past a stock discrepancy without wanting to find out why, this is the role for you. Apply today and let's have a conversation.
