Job description
Stores Operative
No Experience Necessary - Full Training Provided
Our client, a well-established and award-winning global organisation, is looking for a reliable and proactive Stores & Logistics Operator to join their laboratory operations team.
Location: Witham, Essex
Salary: £25,479 - £26,256 per annum (DOE) + 10% shift allowance + excellent benefits
Hours: 37.5 hours per week
Shift Pattern: Weekly rotation between 6am-1pm and 1pm-8pm
Please note, due to the shift pattern, unless you live in Witham, you must be a car driver as public transport does not align with the shift patterns for this role.
You don't need any previous experience in this industry - full training will be provided, including forklift training if required. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong work ethic from a warehouse, distribution, manufacturing, or similar hands-on background who is looking to build a long-term career with a genuinely supportive employer.
What You'll Be Doing - Stores Operative
• Receiving and moving deliveries (chemicals, consumables) into the main stores
• Transferring samples, glassware, and materials between laboratories
• Handling waste management processes, including weighing, labelling, and storage
• Processing stock movements (in/out) and keeping accurate stock records
• Carrying out regular stock checks
• Assisting with loading and unloading deliveries, including forklift use (training provided)
• Supporting wider logistics activities, including use of the company van
What We're Looking For - Stores Operative
• A strong work ethic and the ability to work independently
• Good organisational and time management skills
• Basic IT and numeracy skills
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle
• Physically fit and flexible with working hours, including occasional weekends
• A forklift licence is desirable but not essential - training is available
• No experience in a similar industry is required - this role is ideal for candidates coming from a warehouse, manufacturing, or production background - or those looking for a physical role.
Why Apply?
This is a fantastic opportunity to join a global organisation known for investing in its people, with genuine opportunities for training and development in a fast-paced, hands-on environment. You'll be joining a supportive and inclusive team where your contribution is valued from day one.
