Job Warehouse Charge Hand

Location: Bristol Patchway Depot

We are looking to recruit a Warehouse Chargehand on a permanent contract, working in a busy chill & ambient transhipment warehouse. The shift pattern is working nights, 19:00 to 07:00, on a 4 on 4 off basis with the flexibility to fit the needs of the operation where required. Holidays will be on a pro-rata basis.

You don’t get to be one of the nation’s largest and most loved supermarkets without a brilliant team — and our warehouse colleagues are central to keeping our warehouses running smoothly, ensuring our customers can buy the goods they need in store.

We’re looking for Chargehands who can deliver excellent service to our customers through capable leadership of teams within the complex, unionised, Warehouse or Transport functions. After all, you don’t get to be one of the UK’s most loved retailers without exceeding customer expectations.

You’ll get a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement, access to a discount scheme, company pension scheme, enrolment into our Bonus Scheme, long service awards and service-related holidays.

We welcome applications from everyone as we are actively building diverse teams. Our working environment is an inclusive one and a place where everyone can thrive and develop their potential.

Your previous experience within a Warehouse operation should enable you to engage, motivate and coach colleagues at all levels. You will be able to drive a strong team culture with a unified vision: delivering the best possible service to our customers.
