Hours: Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 5:30pm

Edwards Employment Solutions Ltd are an award-winning, independent recruiter who partner with “Employers of Choice” across the East Midlands and Yorkshire. We’re proud to work alongside a long-established business within the warehouse and distribution sector, who are seeking a reliable and hardworking Warehouse Operative to join their friendly team in Wetherby.

About the Role

As a Warehouse Operative, you’ll play an important part in ensuring the smooth and efficient running of the warehouse. Working within a small, experienced team, your duties will include:

  • Picking and packing stock using a handheld scanner

  • Goods in/out, stock replenishment, and general warehouse duties

  • Loading and unloading deliveries and wrapping pallets

  • Maintaining high standards of organisation and cleanliness

  • Occasionally driving a van to move stock between nearby sites (a driving licence is ideal)
     

With lots of product lines, attention to detail is key — some items are small and similar, so accuracy really matters. You’ll also need a good level of physical fitness as some items weigh up to 25kg, and you’ll be on your feet for much of the day (comfortable footwear is a must!).

 

What’s on Offer as Warehouse Operative,

  • £12.21 per hour

  • Monday to Friday, daytime hours

  • Free onsite parking

  • Supportive and welcoming team environment

  • Clean, modern warehouse
    Temporary assignment until the end of the year (potential longer-term opportunity depending on business needs)

     

If you’re looking for steady, full-time work with a great local employer and a positive working atmosphere — this could be the role for you!
