Returns Processing Operative Wellingborough / Permanent Contract / £27,000 pa If you like a role where youre busy, moving around and actually getting stuck in - but youre also pretty handy when it comes to systems, paperwork and keeping things organised - this could be a really good fit.
This is
not an office-based admin role .
Youll be working on the warehouse shopfloor, physically handling returned products, checking what has come back, making sure everything is recorded correctly and completing the administration that goes alongside it.
The Role
Youll be responsible for helping manage the returns process from the moment products arrive back into the warehouse.
Some of your day will involve physically handling, checking and moving stock.
The rest will involve updating systems, recording information and making sure each return is processed correctly.
Its a role for someone who doesnt mind rolling their sleeves up but is equally comfortable sitting down at a computer and getting the details right.
What Youll Be Doing
Receiving and physically handling returned goods.
Checking returned products against the relevant paperwork and system information.
Inspecting items and identifying any damage, discrepancies or issues.
Sorting and processing returns correctly.
Updating internal systems with accurate information.
Completing the administration and paperwork associated with each return.
Moving and organising stock within the returns area.
Liaising with colleagues where there are discrepancies or further information is needed.
Making sure returns are processed accurately and within the required timescales.
Keeping the returns area organised, safe and tidy.
Following warehouse and health & safety procedures.
What Youll Need
Youll be comfortable working in a
hands-on warehouse environment .
Youll be happy carrying out
manual handling/Heavy lifting as part of your normal working day.
Youll have good attention to detail and notice when something doesnt quite add up.
Youll be comfortable using computers and updating systems.
Youll be able to follow a process without cutting corners.
Youll be organised enough to manage both physical stock and the paperwork behind it.
Youll communicate well with the people around you.
Previous warehouse, returns, stock control or administration experience would be useful.
Most importantly, you need to be someone who understands that
getting the physical return right is only half the job - the system needs to be right too.
What You Might Not Like
Lets get this bit out of the way.
If youre looking for a traditional administration role where youll be sitting at a desk for most of the day,
this isnt it .
You will be based on the warehouse shopfloor.
There is manual handling involved, youll be dealing with physical products and youll be on your feet for a good part of the day.
Equally, if paperwork and computer systems make you want to quietly disappear behind a pallet, this probably isnt for you either.
This role genuinely needs someone who is comfortable doing
both .
What To Do Next
If you like being busy, enjoy a role with a bit of variety and youre the sort of person who wants things processed properly rather than just pushed onto the next person, wed love to hear from you.
Apply and well tell you the good, the bad and everything in between so you can decide whether its right for you.
