Job description

Logistics Controller – Part Time – 23 hours

Based on site at our Distribution Centre in Peterborough.

The Role

This is a part‑time position (23 hours per week) with flexibility around how those hours are worked for the right person. You will join our UK Distribution Centre team, taking on a rotational set of responsibilities that keep our inventory, data, and supplier processes running smoothly. Your work will span everything from setting up new product locations and maintaining base data in Enterprise One Stock Management system, to running inventory checks, monitoring stock levels, and supporting cycle counts.

A key part of your role will be managing the ordering of non‑Coloplast stock, around 150 orders per week, requiring a few hours of focused ordering each day. You’ll also handle claims, investigate discrepancies, and work closely with suppliers to chase orders, resolve issues, and keep stock flowing into the DC. You’ll interpret reports, spot trends or anomalies, and help balance the need for stock availability against the risk of back orders.

Working alongside two Coordinators, two Administrators, a Senior, and an Analyst, you’ll rotate through operational tasks such as checking locations, reviewing paperwork, and supporting the wider logistics team. You’ll also contribute to continuous improvement, Lean activities, and maintaining high standards across the Distribution Centre.
