Warehouse Operative - Nights Kendal
Job description
Warehouse Operative - Nights
Temporary until 31st December 2023
Customers choose Lakeland for the superior quality of both our products and the customer experiences we deliver. As a Warehouse Operative, you'll play an important part in that by ensuring that our customers receive their order quickly and in perfect condition. You'll be part of a team that prides itself on its supportive work culture and enjoys great benefits.
What will your job look like?
You'll be responsible for receiving goods into the warehouse and picking and preparing stock to be sent to our stores. Keeping the distribution clean, tidy and safe at all times, you and your team will create a pleasant environment where everyone feels able to reach their full potential. One day, you may find yourself removing items from containers, the next day you may be driving one of our fork lift trucks to pick stock for our stores. Be outstanding in your service here and there's plenty of room to progress - but you'll be off to a great start.
What are we looking for?
We're looking for enthusiastic and hard-working people to join the Lakeland family and help inspire magic in the home!
If you've got experience in warehouses, that's great - but what's important is that you're bursting with energy and have the kind of positive can-do approach to work that'll help you fit right in here.
You'll have attention to detail and be able to listen to and carry out instructions to the letter. We will train you on our forklift trucks, no experience necessary, just the enthusiasm, dedication, and attention to detail required to get the job done safely and efficiently. Then there's 'going the extra mile' for your team mates, which is how you'll show that you're ready for more senior roles.
A little about us:
From humble beginnings as a tight-knit family operation, we've grown into a prestigious kitchenware retailer with over 60 stores nationally, from Aberdeen to Truro. We've done that by always staying ahead of the pack and looking at things in our own way.
When the home freezing boom happened in the 70s, we anticipated a kitchenware revolution. Now, we're investing millions to ensure that our online offering is top notch, and that our retail stores can offer an experience worthy of a visit. That innovative spirit coupled with our intense customer focus has been the story of our success - work with us and it could be yours too.
What's in it for you?
There are many benefits to being part of the Lakeland team. Other than being part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with a competitive salary and a group personal pension plan.
We also offer all of our colleagues:
- Free tea, coffee and juice
- Canteen areas with vending machines and a pool table
- Occasional free treats such as bacon buns, cakes and ice-cream
- Free onsite parking
- Uniform including safety boots
- Ongoing training
- 29 days' paid holiday (including bank holidays)
- Generous discounts on our products
