About you 

Ideally, you'll have previously worked as a Warehouse Lead within a similar environment. You'll also need:

• Experience of team leadership or management.
• Excellent organisation and planning skills, with attention to detail and accuracy.
• To be comfortable working in a physical role, lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling of cages, as well as other manual tasks
• To be able to work in cold areas of the warehouse (warm PPE will be provided)
• Be supportive of an inclusive culture - recognising and valuing that difference is good

Experience of Microsoft IT packages and SAP systems would also be beneficial but isn't essential.
