ROLE OVERVIEW

As we build out our operational team, we are looking for a diligent and detail-focused Goods Receiver to play an essential role in the club’s stock and supply operation. The Goods Receiver is the first point of control in the club’s supply chain. Reporting to the Purchasing & Stock Control Manager and working closely with the BOH Supervisor, you are responsible for the accurate receipt, inspection, documentation, and storage of all incoming deliveries – with a primary focus on beverage stock. Your attention to detail at the point of intake directly protects the club’s GP, stock integrity, and supplier accountability. This is a physically active role that requires a methodical approach, strong numeracy, and the confidence to challenge and reject deliveries that do not meet the club’s standards. You will handle goods carefully, maintain a clean and organised goods receiving area, and ensure all documentation is completed accurately and promptly for the Purchasing & Stock Control Manager.
