Are you looking for a part-time weekend role in a dynamic and fast-paced environment? Heron Foods is seeking a motivated and organised individual to join our team at the Melton Distribution Centre as a Shop Order Processing (SOP) Coordinator. This critical role involves ensuring our stores receive their orders accurately and on time, contributing to the continued success of our logistics operations.
As part of our team, you'll work independently to coordinate order processing and dispatch, making sure all deliveries go smoothly. Due to our location and limited public transport options, you will need your own transport for this role.
About Us:
Heron Foods, a proud member of the B&M Group, has been providing great value groceries since 1979. We are passionate about offering top-quality products at affordable prices, earning us a loyal customer base across the north and midlands. At Heron Foods, we believe in nurturing talent and fostering an inclusive work environment.
Responsibilities:
* Coordinate the Shop Order Processing during weekend shifts, including dispatching orders and managing the order queue.
* Issue and manage loading tickets, create dispatch notes, and allocate trucks/trailers for deliveries.
* Handle logistical challenges, including rerouting deliveries and addressing vehicle maintenance issues.
* Communicate effectively with stores regarding delivery schedules and address any concerns or changes.
* Provide support to the loading and picking operations as needed, ensuring efficiency and accuracy.
Requirements:
* Proficient in IT, with a solid understanding of Excel, Outlook, and Word.
* Experience in an administrative, data entry, or logistics role is beneficial but not essential.
* Excellent communication and organisational skills, with the ability to work independently or as part of a team.
* Own transport is essential due to our location and limited public transport options for weekend shifts.
What we offer you:
* 30 days annual leave (pro rata).
* 24/7 online access to a GP for you and your family (partner and children up to aged 21).
* 10% discount across Heron Foods and B&M stores, with double discount weekends throughout the year.
* Access to BenefitHub for exclusive deals and discounts on everyday purchases, family days out, financial services, and more.
* Wellbeing support via our 24/7 employee assistance programme – Smart Health.
* Opportunities for ongoing learning and career development, including on-the-job training and eLearning.
* Reward and recognition schemes, plus celebrations of long service and work anniversaries.
