Working from our Nelson-based uniform store, you'll collaborate with colleagues, site-champions, suppliers, and teams across the country to keep our uniform service running smoothly and consistently.
The position will:
- Coordinate uniform supply; manage orders, loans, returns, exchanges, repairs, alterations, and decommissioning
- Provide our people with guidance on sizing, fabrics, non-standard requirements, and general enquiries
- Maintain accurate staff uniform records, monitor stock levels, forecast needs, and oversee despatch processes
