Are you the Team Leader people naturally follow?
If you're happiest out on the warehouse floor rather than sat behind a desk, this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
We're looking for a hands‑on Warehouse Team Leader who knows how to get the best out of people. Someone who leads by example, isn't afraid to challenge poor performance, and takes real pride in running a safe, efficient and productive operation.
You'll be responsible for around 10 operatives, leading one of the warehouse functions including Inbound, Picking, QC/Prep or Loading, ensuring quality, productivity and service levels are achieved every single day.
What you'll be doing
- Leading, motivating and developing your warehouse team.
- Planning daily workloads and allocating labour effectively.
- Delivering shift briefings and setting clear expectations.
- Coaching individuals to improve performance and achieve KPIs.
- Managing quality standards across your department.
- Investigating errors, damages and operational issues, identifying root causes and preventing repeat problems.
- Monitoring productivity, accuracy and attendance.
- Supporting new starters with training and development.
- Working closely with the wider operation to keep everything running smoothly.
- Promoting a positive, accountable and safety‑first culture.
We're looking for someone who:
- Has previous experience leading a warehouse team.
- Leads from the front and enjoys being out on the floor.
- Can confidently challenge poor performance and recognise great performance.
- Has experience in warehouse operations such as inbound, picking, dispatch or quality control.
- Understands Warehouse Management Systems (WMS) and warehouse KPIs.
- Is organised, resilient and thrives in a fast‑paced environment.
- Can solve problems quickly and implement practical improvements.
- Wants to develop people, not just manage them.
