Care Centre Manager in Castle Hill

Our Care Centre Hub’s stocks medical supplies which are distributed by van to our clients in the local area. You do not need medical experience for this position. What you do need is experience managing a team (of 2 or more people) and good head for keeping our stocking, ordering, picking, packing and delivering processes running smoothly.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and support a small team, including regular 1-to-1s, annual reviews, hands on training and ensuring the hub is a positive, productive place to be.
• Be a hands-on manager. You'll lead by example and get stuck in with the day-to-day work whether it's picking and packing orders, sorting stock or helping the team hit deadlines.
• Handle day to day people management, including any performance, absence or conduct issues, with support from HR.
• Oversee the picking, packing and dispatch of customer orders, making sure everything is accurate and on time.
• Manage stock levels, ordering supplies, checking deliveries, restocking shelves and completing regular stock checks.
• Work closely with other teams and departments to make sure we're delivering great service that meets company and NHS standards.
• Attend meetings, training sessions and the occasional conference to stay up to speed and connected with the wider team.

Skills and Experience

• Someone who genuinely cares about great customer service and takes pride in getting things right.
• Experience leading and supporting a team (even a small one); some background in warehouse, logistics or supply chain is helpful but not essential.
• A confident communicator both face to face, over the phone and in writing.
• Well organised, with a good eye for detail and the ability to juggle tasks and priorities.
• Comfortable working towards targets and keeping things on track.
• A proactive, can-do approach who's happy working on their own or as part of a team.
• Confident using computers and systems to manage stock or track performance.
• Able to understand basic reports and use that information to make decisions or improve how things run.
