Retail Stocktaker
6 months ago
Due to expansion we need to recruit a Retail Stocktaker based in or close to the Dartford, Bexley, Gravesend area - Immediate start.
We are looking for someone who ideally has retail or warehouse experience and an understanding of stocktaking. Full training is given.
The successful applicant will work with our existing team on stocktakes throughout The South East, including Kent, Essex, London and sometimes further.
Our people car share, and travel usually very early in the morning and setting off at 5am is not uncommon. Days and journeys vary. Some easy days will be short and the tougher days a bit longer. It's very much taking the rough with the smooth.
You will need to be a driver and have your own vehicle as you will need to be able to get yourself to one of our pick up points in either Gravesend or Dartford and sometimes you may need to drive direct to a stocktake. If so all your expenses parking etc are reimbursed plus a tax free mileage allowance.
Your working week will vary from 1 to 3+ days weekly according to the workload - if you want more than 3 days a week, then this will sometimes be possible - if you need a guaranteed minimum income then we are happy to discuss this with you. All our people work for us very regularly, week in, week out.
Good training and ongoing support is provided at all times. Initial training will be mainly on-site on live stocktakes. Most stocktakes involve the use of simple to use barcode scanners. Accuracy is everything and speed comes with training and practice. You will need to be reliable, accurate, presentable and have good communication skills.
Every working day is different - different places virtually every day, counting different types of stock for a variety of great clients. Most of our stocktakes are very early morning starts, mainly Monday to Friday. There are some late starts and some weekend stocktakes. Lots of variety.
We have been providing stocktaking services throughout The UK since 1988 and this is a great opportunity to join Abacus Valuers and become part of our fantastic team of people. We suggest you have a look at abacusvaluers.co.uk to give you a better understanding of what we are all about. We also operate in Ireland - jcstocktakers.co.uk
Telephone interviews will take place soon and applicants will have the opportunity to come to a stocktake and shadow an experienced stocktaker for a day, meet our people and find out more about Abacus Valuers.
He will do his best to respond swiftly.
Thanks for your interest.
