This role has a core requirement to operate/drive a Forklift truck. Your health and safety matters, please ensure you understand the requirements of the role before making an application. (please review the job description attached)
If you’re convinced this is the role for you, don’t hesitate. If you’re not sure you’ve got absolutely everything, including the licence to operate reach trucks, don't let that stop you. However, please be aware this role requires standard health and safety checks with a requirement to complete an eye test during the interview.

Hours of work:
37.5 hours a week on any 5 in 7. Must have weekend availability
Night shift, 22:00 - 06:00
About the Role:
The core purpose of this role is to include either already holding the necessary certification to operate a Forklift truck, including both double deep location and long forked trucks. Or possess the necessary skills and willingness to be trained in-house to operate the desired machinery.
Whilst an element of this role will be forklift based, the role of a Warehouse Partner is a varied and multi skilled one. So there will be a requirement at times to work in other areas of the warehouse and complete tasks such as picking, packing, loading, unloading & general housekeeping.
You will also ensure that our goods and products are safely stored and replenished using our mechanical handling equipment and by completing some basic documentation.
Please note that this role involves heavy lifting.
Job Requirements:
Within this role you will undertake a range of tasks including some general cleaning duties along with ensuring that goods are stored and replenished accurately and safely. Our Distribution Centres are made up of 3 separate internal Warehouses, each holding our Chilled, Fresh or Ambient product, and you may be required to work across all 3 of these.
As a Partner with our business, you will have full access to our subsidised dining room serving hot and cold meals through the day. You will also be able to use the ‘staff shop’ and the Partner’s gym, at a small monthly cost and take advantage of the many other Partnership benefits and social clubs on offer.
Desirable experience skills and qualifications:
Basic standards of written English and basic Maths
When you join the Partnership, you’ll be given access to our very own internal benefits website, PartnerChoice.
25% off in John Lewis & Partners (12% off electrical products)
20% in Waitrose & Partners. You’ll also be able to nominate someone you live with to share your discount.
Our dining rooms across our shops, head offices and distribution sites offer excellent food and drink for generously subsidised prices whilst Partners are at work.
Each year, you can claim up to £250 to cover half the cost of a range of tutored courses. This benefit is open to all Partners, but you can also use it to claim for baby and child courses such as NCT and hypnobirthing or parent and baby swimming lessons.
We’re really proud of our exclusive hotels based in some of Britain’s most beautiful areas and once you’ve been with us for three months, you’re welcome to explore them.
