Job description

To join us we are looking for you to have experience of using a Reach Truck.

Discover the best of both worlds as a Warehouse Operative with Brakes. As the UK industry leader, we offer job security and career development – with the family feel, rewards and recognition of our friendly warehouse team. We take pride in looking after our people. So, as well as plenty of perks, a generous salary, realistic bonuses and other financial rewards, you’ll enjoy the training and support to go far.

As a Warehouse Operative/ Reach Truck Driver, you’ll pick and check the quality of these ambient, chilled, and frozen food items, ready for our drivers to deliver. It starts with a full induction, but with our backing and optional accredited training that includes forklift, first aid and HGV driving, there’s no limit to your potential. In fact, almost 90% of our managers started here. So, once you’re in, there are plenty of opportunities to move shifts, move roles and move up – if that’s what you want to do.

To apply you must

• Have your own transport to get to site due to poor public transport links.
• Have experience and be competent driving a Reach Truck.

As well as an eye for detail, you’ll need to be comfortable in a cool environment (we’ll provide a free thermal uniform to keep you warm), be physically fit to lift weights of up to 25kg and have your own transport to get here. In return, you’ll enjoy job stability and benefits such as:

Subsidised hot meals via our staff canteen

Heavily discounted quality food through staff sales

Free onsite parking

Generous annual leave with option to buy more

Reward, recognition and referral schemes

Charitable events to get involved with
