About the role

Working Monday to Friday, 08:00 - 16:30 on a fixed term contract of 6 months, you’ll play a key role in managing stock control and supporting daily warehouse and transport activity. This is a varied, office‑based role that combines system work, customer interaction, and coordination across teams.

You will be responsible for:

Booking stock in and locating inventory using the Navitas WMS
Creating picklists and preparing stock for outbound activity
Scheduling inbound and outbound loads and organising transport
Producing reports and communicating stock information to customers
Dealing with customer queries by phone and email
Using Excel, Word, and PowerPoint to manage data and reporting
Supplying accurate information for invoicing purposes

About you

You’ll have experience managing stock and working with a Warehouse Management System, along with strong proficiency in Excel, Word, and other Microsoft tools. A college degree is preferable but not essential. You’ll be confident dealing with customers and drivers, with a friendly, outgoing manner and a calm, professional approach.

You’ll thrive in this role if you’re organised, accurate, and enjoy working in a busy environment where priorities can change. A positive attitude, good temperament, and strong communication skills are key. Someone who is bubbly, approachable, and happy to get involved will fit in well with the team.

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.
