We are looking for a Stores/Despatch person for our client in Newhaven.



This requirement is for an additional person to assist the team in the Stores/Packaging area.



Do you have some experience working in a Warehouse environment ie Goods In/Out/Despatch.




  • Can you work with accuracy and with great attention to detail, have a keen eye, along with manual dexterity.

  • Do you have good computer skills? Able to track stock on internal system, accurate data entry is really really important. Packaging with care is very important too, to ensure zero damage to fragile products.



Some lifting is involved, so safety shoes need to be worn at all times.



Equally important is your reliability and for you to enjoy your working role. Be a team player.



If you would like to earn £450 per week + accrued holiday pay then this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for. This is based on the following:




  • Hourly pay of £11.44 over 39.5 hours per week.

  • The working week is 8am to 5pm- Monday to Thursday (Fridays finish at 1.30pm)

  • 30 mins unpaid lunch, and two paid 15 min breaks each day.

  • Pay is Weekly, and paid each Friday



Candidates will need to be motivated, enthusiastic, and reliable throughout the busy period.



Being a flexible person is a big requirement due to being moved around the different departments, assisting others and learning all aspects of the production.



When the Despatch area is quiet, assistance in other areas on the production floor would be required. It would be very helpful if you have some experience in assembling products, perhaps you have been a machine operator or machine minder, perhaps worked with wood, or a machinist with other products/materials (even Sewing machines)



Please note that this is a very hands on position and the client intends to offer the most successful candidate a permanent contract after a short period of time.



Please be advised that this is a standing up position during the hours of work.



The working environment is clean, tidy and professional and is further enhanced by the full use of the company’s kitchen during breaks.



Microwave food can be prepared, and free tea/coffee is made available. The canteen is available to you during your breaks allowing you to catch up on any phone messages. (Phone use is not permitted during core working hours)



In the 1st instance, please apply with an up-to-date CV.



Thank you
