Job Description
This is a 3 month Temporary Position based at our Redhouse warehouse.
Shift pattern:
* Week 1: Thursday - Saturday, 06:00 - 18:00
* Week 2: Wednesday - Saturday, 06:00 - 18:00
In this operational role you will have an interest in progressing into management. You may have limited or no past experience of managing or supervising a team. You will learn on the job and experience life at the sharp end of our operation, working at a base location and providing operational support.
As a Trainee Team Manager you will work closely with the current Team Manager in their allocated work area. You will manage and motivate individuals and teams to achieve operational effectiveness, business drivers and deliver service to our customers.
You will ensure that all operational processes are compliant with policies and procedures and play an active part in promoting a team‑work ethic. You will be given support and development during your training period. By building your knowledge and skills and following a development programme you will work towards completing key milestones that demonstrate the necessary standards for sign‑off.
Our Trainee Team Managers are pivotal to the efficient running of our distribution operations. Running a team of around 25 warehouse operatives, they ensure every item is perfectly selected, packed, distributed and receives careful attention that our 5 million customers expect from our brand.
Our largest distribution centre processes up to 600,000 units per day to retail stores and to customers’ doors. You’ll manage a team by monitoring absence, productivity, performance and errors to identify ways of continuous improvement and help them achieve personal targets and bonus. Every day is different, and you must work autonomously, think independently and make sound operational decisions in deadline‑driven, pressure‑situated environments.
