Hemel Hempstead, United Kingdom Think Specialist Recruitment Full time

We've got an amazing trainee/junior level role for someone that wants to get into an exciting career within the logistics/transport world, working with an award-winning logistics company based in Hemel Hempstead.

The position you would be starting in would be a Trainee/Junior Transport Planning Coordinator.

This is an incredibly high performing, award-winning, bespoke transport company, renowned for the high-profile customers they work with too.

If you're looking for a route into an office-based role that provides full training, leading into a long and stable career with room to progress that is a bit different from the norm, this is well worth a look

This role is on a permanent basis, hybrid working is in place for this team and the job would need to be worked on a 4 days on and 4 days off basis, meaning that you'd be working the following shifts:

  • Shift A: 7am to 5pm - 4 days
  • 4 days off
  • Shift B: 9am to 7pm - 4 days
  • 4 days off
  • Repeat

With the above you'd find that you'll be able to work 2 days in the Hemel Hempstead HQ and 2 days from home in your shift patterns too.

There's a lot that comes with this role too, a starting salary of approximately £25k, hybrid working, generous incentive/bonus schemes, private healthcare, pension scheme, life insurance, parking on site as well as free lunches in the office and free monthly massages too

The office doesn't have the greatest public transport routes, so ideally will need to be very local to the Maylands area or a driver.

What to expect day-to-day:
