Warehouse Operative in Hemel Hempstead

Exciting and newly created role here for a business who have moved to new offices in the Maylands area of Hemel Hempstead and finding their feet, building a fairly new team.

Meaning we are now recruiting for a position which crosses from being a Warehouse Operative but also elements of Procurement Administration too.

This is going to be an ideal position for someone who is reliable, hardworking and happy to get stuck into a very hands-on role, but equally someone that's computer savvy, comfortable with basic Excel usage and interested in a diverse role.

The warehouse position plays a pivotal role in the supply chain of the company and you'd be responsible for handling, moving, storing and shipping goods within their warehouse; but you'd also be involved in inventory management and dispatching.

We need someone with warehouse experience for this role, someone used to working in a fast paced environment and comfortable with change, the kind of person that can bring their own ideas to this warehouse and it's new local function.

The role itself will be fully based in the Hemel Hempstead (Maylands) offices and you'd be working Monday to Friday and have the choice of an 8am, 8.30am or 9am start, working approximately a 40 hour week.

You'd be paid the hourly equivalent of between £26k to £28k depending on the level of experience you bring, and this would be a temporary position, aiming to start someone within the next few weeks to get in, trained and supporting the small and growing team.

Ultimately the end goal of this role is to go temp to perm going into 2027.
