Voice-Picking Warehouse Assistant

This is steady, physical warehouse work at a clothing distribution centre in Johannesburg CBD, and nobody minds if it's your first job. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Johannesburg CBD; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.
