This is a hands-on supervisory role ideal for someone with good people instincts, strong organisational skills, and the ability to maintain quality under pressure.

• Maintain picking spreadsheets and track outputs

• Ensure quality - choosing plants/products as if you were the customer

• Keep stock areas organised and ensure trolleys are filled correctly

• Step in and support where needed, while holding the team to expectations

• Work closely with warehouse and goods-in teams to manage flow and logistics

The Ideal Candidate

• Has experience supervising or coordinating teams (warehouse, horticulture, food manufactruing)
