• Supporting quarantine stock processes.
• Providing support to the Stock Manager and wider stock team.

What we're looking for

• Previous experience within stock control, inventory management, warehousing or a similar role.
• Strong attention to detail and a high level of accuracy.
• Excellent problem-solving and investigative skills.
• Good communication skills and the ability to build positive working relationships.
• The ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Windows applications.
