Voice-Picking Warehouse Assistant

Pick it right, pack it neat, send it out: that's the job at a clothing distribution centre in Ballito. It's the kind of job where doing the basics well every day gets you noticed.

The work is in Ballito, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.
