About the Job
Relationships mean everything to us, and this one is particularly special. You’ll have an important part to play in automotive success that spans nearly 50 years. Here at Unipart we don’t just have a way of working, we have The Unipart Way. It allows everyone in our team to pursue their own personal and professional goals to a world class level, through Unipart's ‘From Gate to Great’ training and development program.
We’re a fast paced business, always delivering amazing quality and results for our customers, and this warehouse location is no exception. You’ll get the opportunity to work in lots of different areas of the warehouse, learning new things and making sure that Jaguar Land Rover’s stock is always in the right place, at the right time, and with the right amount for collection when it is needed.
As part of your key responsibilities you’ll:
- Pick, check, store and pack goods, either manually or using our RF technology, which we’ll train you to use so you always get the best results
- Use a forklift truck to load and unload trailers safely, in line with our company procedures
- Keep track of anything that’s not right, including errors, damages or quality issues so that these can be sorted quickly and easily
- Use our computer systems and manual records to input the latest data relevant to what you’ll be working on
- Help us make the site a great, safe place to work, by taking an active part in our health and safety awareness program and processes
- Be listened to with any ideas for improvements, so be sure to make your voice heard
We can offer you a basic rate of £11.96 per hour, which is the equivalent of £24,876.80 per year for a 40 hour working week - although we're very open to flexible working patterns and part time hours - please let us know what your preference is when you apply and we'll do our best to accommodate. We also pay an MHE supplement that would increase your hourly rate to £13.09, which is the equivalent of £27,227.20 per year for a 40 hour working week. On top of this you will get 30 days holiday (including bank holidays), a pension, a life assurance scheme, an employee assistance programme, wellbeing support, and a flexible benefits scheme. You will be working for one of the safest logistics businesses in the UK, with a great canteen, in a brand new purpose built facility (no cold store work here!), that has unrivalled development opportunities should you wish to progress your career with us. With a range of shift patterns on offer - including the opportunity for part-time working - we're sure we'd be able to offer something that would work for your circumstances. We will be recruiting for roles across the next 12 months, so please apply to register your interest.
