Job Title: Deputy Warehouse Team Leader - Days
Location: Lutterworth, Leicestershire
Salary: £29,000
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time, Days, 4 on 4 off, 06:00 to 18:00
The Role
A fast-paced distribution operation in Lutterworth is looking for a Deputy Warehouse Team Leader to work across all sections of the warehouse. If you are a Warehouse Team Leader, Warehouse Supervisor or Shift Supervisor ready for a bigger challenge, this role supports the Section Leader with the day-to-day running of the operation and leads teams of operatives wherever the shift needs them most.
A Straight Word on the Environment
This is not a steady ship. The business is growing quickly, priorities change mid-shift, plans get rewritten on the day, and new systems and structures are on the way. It suits someone who finds that energising and can keep a calm head while things move. Anyone after a predictable routine where every day looks the same will not enjoy it, and this is not a role for a plodder.
What the role involves
- Supporting the Section Leader in managing the daily warehouse operation across all sections
- Leading, motivating and developing teams of warehouse operatives, moving between areas as priorities change
- Allocating work and monitoring productivity throughout the shift
- Delivering departmental KPIs for productivity, quality and service
- Running daily team briefings and communicating changing operational priorities clearly
- Carrying out return to work interviews and supporting attendance management
- Assisting with investigations and disciplinary processes where required
- Maintaining high Health & Safety standards
- Spotting opportunities to improve efficiency and productivity
- Working closely with other departments to hit customer service targets
- Deputising for the Section Leader during absence
What's needed
- Experience as a Warehouse Team Leader, Warehouse Supervisor, Shift Supervisor, Senior Warehouse Operative or similar leadership role
- Experience leading teams in a warehouse, logistics or distribution environment
- Strong communication and people management skills
- Experience working to productivity and performance KPIs
- Good understanding of Health & Safety procedures
- Strong organisational and problem-solving skills
- Comfortable adapting quickly when plans change
Desirable
- Experience using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS)
- Continuous Improvement experience
- MHE qualifications (advantageous, not essential)
What's on offer
- Salary of £29,000
- Permanent, full-time position
- 4 on 4 off pattern for a good work-life balance
- Ongoing training and development
- Genuine progression into Section Leader and Warehouse Management roles, with a track record of promoting from within
- Company pension
- Free on-site parking
- Employee benefits package
