Job Description

This is steady, physical warehouse work at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Newcastle, and nobody minds if it's your first job. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

You'll be based at an online grocery fulfilment hub in Newcastle. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. There's a probation period of three months before the contract is confirmed.

What you'll actually do

  • Pack cartons, add fillers and seal them with tape guns
  • Stack finished orders on pallets and stretch-wrap them tight
  • Count stock during weekly cycle counts and month-end stock takes
  • Replenish empty pick faces from overstock racking
  • Pick orders from pick slips or a handheld scanner, bin by bin
  • Label boxes with the correct waybill and route sticker
  • Scan every item so the system shows the right stock count

You'll need

  • You're fit enough to lift boxes up to 25kg all shift
  • Clean criminal record (most warehouses run a check)
  • Happy to work shifts, weekends and public holidays in peak season
  • You can read product codes and count accurately

Helpful, not essential

  • Basic computer skills for capturing counts
  • Experience in a cold-chain or freezer environment

On offer

  • Permanent appointment for reliable temps after peak season
  • Staff canteen with subsidised meals
  • Safety boots, overalls and freezer jackets supplied
  • Chance to be trained on forklift after probation
