- Move, allocate, and quarantine stock through internal systems
- Maintain a clean, safe, and secure stores environment
- Communicate any stock or operational issues to your team leader promptly
- Uphold all quality and health & safety standards
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a warehouse, stores, or stock control environment
- Excellent verbal communication and a collaborative team spirit
- Strong organisational skills with a sharp eye for detail
- Physically capable of performing regular lifting and manual handling
- Proficient in using computers and inventory management systems
- Calm under pressure, efficient, and proactive
Entry Requirements

- Must pass: Basic Criminal Record Check, Identity Check, Sanction Check, Credit Check
What We Offer
- A structured, stable working schedule – Monday to Friday, no weekends
- Supportive and safety-focused work environment
- Career development opportunities within a growing operations function
- Ongoing training and exposure to cross-functional processes
- Be part of a team that plays a crucial role in a larger mission-driven company
- A salary rising to £24,490.50 after successful completion of a 6 month probationary period.
- A workplace that values reliability, accuracy, and pride in the job
