GREAT TEAMS DON'T JUST HAPPEN. THEY HAVE GREAT LEADERS!

We're on the hunt for experienced, energetic and results-driven Warehouse Team Leaders who know how to motivate people, drive performance and keep a busy distribution operation firing on all cylinders.

If you're the kind of leader who rolls up their sleeves, leads from the front and gets the very best out of their team, we want to hear from you!

YOUR TEAM. YOUR TARGETS. YOUR IMPACT.

Taking responsibility for approximately 25 colleagues, you'll be the driving force behind a motivated, engaged and high-performing team.

Your challenge?

• Lead from the front – Inspire, motivate and develop your team to deliver their best, every shift.
• Drive performance – Keep productivity, quality and accuracy KPIs firmly on track.
• Get the best out of people – Identify talent, close skills gaps and coach colleagues to succeed.
• Take ownership – Confidently manage absence, performance, investigations and challenging conversations.
• Make safety non-negotiable – Champion health and safety and maintain excellent operational standards.
• Challenge the ordinary – Drive continuous improvement, bring fresh ideas and find smarter ways of working.
• Keep standards high – Support audits, ensure compliance and tackle issues before they become problems.

ARE YOU THE LEADER WE'RE LOOKING FOR?

We're looking for someone who brings more than just experience to the table.

You'll have:

• Proven Team Leader experience within warehousing, distribution or a similar fast-paced environment.
• The confidence and personality to motivate, influence and inspire a team.
• A strong understanding of operational KPIs, productivity and cost control.
• Experience managing people, performance, absence and difficult conversations.
• The ability to think on your feet, make decisions and thrive under pressure.
• A genuine passion for developing people and creating a positive team culture.
• A proactive, continuous improvement mindset.
• Good IT skills, including Microsoft Office and operational systems.

Above all, you'll be a natural people leader who takes ownership, delivers results and isn't afraid to get stuck in.

THE OPPORTUNITY

This is a fixed-term contract until March 2027, offering the chance to make a real impact within a busy distribution operation.

There may be opportunities to apply for permanent positions during the contract, although these cannot be guaranteed.

THINK YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES?
