Warehouse Operative Apprentice
DOORDEALS LTD
About the Role
Your Career Starts Here! Join Doordeals as a Warehouse Operative Apprentice, where you’ll earn while you learn, gain real experience, build valuable skills and open the door to future career progression. Join a growing team and take your first step towards a career you can be proud of. Don’t just get a job, build your future.
No two days will look exactly the same, but your typical week could include:
- Lifting and moving bulky stock items
- Picking and allocating stock
- Packaging goods ready for dispatch
- Checking the quality of goods
- Loading and unloading vehicles
- Checking products against delivery notes, including measuring door sizes and glass apertures
- Inputting information accurately onto computer systems
- Helping customers in person and over the phone in a courteous, polite and professional way
- Completing stock checks
- Keeping the warehouse and your workspace clean and tidy
You’ll have support around you while you learn, but we’ll also encourage you to stay focused, use your initiative and understand why accuracy matters at every stage.
Please note: This is a repetitive and very physical role. You will need to be comfortable lifting and moving heavy and bulky items throughout the day as part of the team.
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has strong attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right
- Can stay focused on the task at hand
- Is energetic, enthusiastic and hardworking, with a positive, can-do attitude
- Is organised and able to work to deadlines and remain calm under pressure
- Gets on well with people at all levels, both face to face and over the phone
- Can understand and read metric and imperial measurements
- Is comfortable using computer systems and entering information accurately
- Is physically able to move and carry heavy, bulky goods as part of a team
- Is flexible and able to work shifts between 8am and 6pm, Monday to Friday
- Wants to learn, develop and build a longer-term career within the business
For the right person, we want this to be the start of a career with Doordeals, not just a job. Someone who is hardworking, reliable, eager to learn and committed to building a long-term career with us. Several senior members of our team started in the warehouse and have since progressed within the business.
