Warehouse Operative - AM

About the role

Our Distribution Centres are fast-paced, high-volume environments where accuracy, teamwork and a focus on safety are essential. As a Warehouse Operative at our Booker site in Wellingborough, you will play a key role in ensuring our customers receive the right products, on time, every time.

Wellingborough is a modern, multi-temperature food service site handling grocery, fresh and frozen products. You will pick and assemble customer orders into cages using an arm-mounted terminal, working towards a minimum performance target and supporting the smooth flow of goods through the operation.

There is excellent scope for training, development and progression, including opportunities to train on LLOPs and FLTs in selected areas.

This role requires successful candidates to work any 5 days from 7, including weekends.
Shift hours are 06:00 – 14:00.

Our purpose and values help bring our behaviours to life. We work with a customer-first mindset — No one tries harder for customers, we treat people how they want to be treated, and we know that every little helps.
