Job Description

Location: Nicholas and Harris Limited, Salisbury

Shift: 4 on 4 off shift rotation

Salary: Competitive + Benefits

We are looking for a Warehouse Front Line Manager to join our warehouse team, based at our new warehouse in Amesbury, supporting the safe, accurate, and efficient movement of product through our warehouse operation.

This is a hands-on leadership role within a fast-paced environment, where you’ll work as part of the operational headcount, leading from the front while coordinating people, processes, and systems. It’s an excellent opportunity for an experienced warehouse leader to make a real impact, develop a team, and grow within a supportive and expanding operation.

Finsbury Food Group is a leading speciality bakery manufacturer. We constantly raise quality and efficiency standards, and build long-term relationships with major multiple retailers and the foodservice channel. Nicholas & Harris has over 180 years of heritage in craft baking methods. If you like artisinal, organic and speciality breads, or have special dietary preferences, our bakery Nicholas & Harris bakery in Salisbury has you covered!

This is what you’ll actually do!

As a Warehouse Front Line Manager, you’ll report into the Warehouse Lead and will be at the centre of day-to-day warehouse activity in Amesbury, leading the team on shift to ensure targets are achieved safely and accurately. You’ll coordinate workloads, respond to operational challenges in real time, and work alongside the team during peak periods to keep the operation running smoothly.

You’ll ensure Health & Safety, GMP, and site standards are upheld at all times, while maintaining stock accuracy, traceability, and correct stock rotation. You’ll use ERP/WMS systems to monitor performance, track labour and stock movement, support planning, and help embed new processes and ways of working across the warehouse.

You’ll communicate regularly with teams based at our Nicholas & Harris mainsite in Salisbury, working closely across sites to ensure priorities are aligned and issues are resolved quickly. Alongside hands-on leadership, you’ll complete shift administration, support people management activities, and help drive continuous improvement within the warehouse.

This role plays a key part in shaping team culture, developing capability, and supporting the ongoing growth and success of the Amesbury warehouse site and wider Nicholas & Harris warehouse team.

To be successful in this role, you’ll be a confident and proactive leader who thrives in a fast-paced warehouse environment and is excited to help shape and embed ways of working at our new Amesbury warehouse. You’ll be comfortable balancing hands-on operational work with people leadership and system management, and you won’t be afraid to challenge, improve, and lead by example.

Ideally this is you!

• Experience in a warehouse supervisory or front-line management role
• Confident leading teams in a fast-paced, manual environment
• Hands-on approach with the ability to lead from the front
• Experience using ERP / WMS systems
• Strong Health & Safety awareness (IOSH desirable)
• Good IT skills (MS Office and operational systems)
• Strong communication and people management skills
• Organised, resilient, and able to make decisions at pace
• Motivated to develop people, improve processes, and drive results

This is a highly visible role with real opportunity to influence performance, develop teams, and grow your career within a business that values ownership, teamwork, and continuous improvement.

What's in it for you?

• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave to allow quality time with your new arrival!
• Enhanced Pension Scheme for our employees
• Free Employee Assistance Programme (open to colleagues and their families)
• Retail discounts accessible via our Benefits Hub platform!
• Company shop available at sites (heavily discounted, yummy products!)
• Refer a Friend Scheme (up to £300 per referral – t&cs dependent)
• Employee Recognition Awards • Extensive Learning & Development opportunities (including opportunities for sponsored professional memberships and our own in-house development course!)
