Driver and Picker Swansea, Wales
Job description
Driver and Picker Job Description:
Swansea Fish is a family owned and operated seafood wholesaler based in Swansea. The Company was born with humble beginnings by Debora Rees (then Harris) in 1991, operating as just one woman and her van. Over the last 30 years the company has gone from strength to strength, growing from one woman and her van to 12 employees and six vans supplying over 400 businesses across South Wales with fresh and frozen seafood from all over the globe. The business also now includes Debora’s husband Paul and son Ciaran, and we look forward to a bright future for generations to come.
We are currently looking to recruit an energetic, enthusiastic and hard-working individual to be the next addition to our team as a part time Driver and Picker. This person should have a can-do attitude, ready to work, and have a keen eye for detail. This role is not for the faint of heart! We often start our working day at 4am and heavy lifting does play a big part in this job so if you’re not a morning person or will struggle with heavy items this role might not be the one for you, but if you like the sound of our business please get in touch as we often have other positions available!
Despite the early starts there are plenty of great things about us too! You may start your shifts early, but you will finish early too. Your typical day will end at around 1pm giving you all afternoon to enjoy beautiful, sunny Wales! You will be working with a great team of hard-working people, with a relaxed social attitude. Having a laugh and a joke is a part of the culture here!
