About the Job

As a Warehouse Operative at our Bicester Depot, your primary tasks involve the careful picking, packing, and quality checking of chilled and frozen food items. These items are prepared for delivery by our dedicated drivers. The journey begins with a comprehensive induction program. Moreover, we provide substantial support and offer optional accredited training, which covers various areas, including forklift operation, first aid, and HGV driving. This means there are virtually no limits to your potential for growth. Remarkably, almost 90% of our current managers began their careers right here in this very role. Therefore, once you’ve stepped into this position, you’ll find a multitude of opportunities to explore different roles and climb the career ladder – should that be your aspiration.

Role Requirements

Beyond an acute attention to detail, you’ll need to be comfortable working in a cool environment (rest assured, we’ll provide you with a thermal uniform to keep you warm). Physical fitness is essential, as the role may involve lifting weights of up to 25kg. Additionally, having your own means of transportation to get to the depot is a requirement.

What’s in it for You

In return for your dedication, you’ll benefit from job stability and a comprehensive package that includes a competitive salary, a generous holiday allowance (with the option to purchase more), and a pension plan.
