Kendal, United Kingdom Lakeland Full time

**Trainee Forklift Driver - Warehouse Operative opportunities available**:
**Contract: Permanent, 37 hours per Week**

**Schedule: 4 Week Rota Pattern**

**Earn whilst you learn with Lakeland, and receive industry standard training on our fleet of Forklift Trucks**

As a local family business, we welcome applicants of all ages and backgrounds to join our own little family here at the Distribution Centre - where you can be yourself in a welcoming and friendly environment.

**What are we looking for?**:
It's really simple - we're looking for honest, hard-working people who are open to learning new skills and being part of a team.

You don't need any experience, and don't even need to be able to drive a car. We'll train you fully on our forklift trucks so you'll have something to display proudly on your CV wherever your career takes you. All we ask for in return is a sprinkle of enthusiasm, a dollop of dedication, all served with the attention to detail required to get the job done safely and efficiently.

**What will your job look like?**:
Working in a multi-channel warehouse means there's always lots to do, so you could be:

- Getting a good gym workout by unloading containers of stock
- Driving one of our new forklift trucks to pick stock for our many stores
- Completing your steps for the day picking orders for our online customers
- Keeping the place tidy, and unpacking pallets of returns from our customers

There's lots of opportunities to learn new processes, along with chances to progress your career if you want to. Many team members joined us as colleagues and have grown with the company, and you could too.

**What's in it for you?**:
Being part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with 29 days holiday (including bank holidays) which grows with service, and a group personal pension plan. We also offer all our our colleagues:

- Full uniform including safety boots
- Free onsite parking
- Canteen areas with vending machines and a pool table
- Free tea, coffee and juice
- Regular events such as charity sales, breakfast with the board, and sweet treats
- Generous discounts on our products
- Employee Wellbeing programme with Retail Trust

**A little about us**:
Founded in the early 60s, we're still a family owned business with the same strong values of quality and customer care now as when we first started. From selling plastic bags for home freezing from the Rayner family garage in Windermere, to over 4000 kitchen and home products today, Lakeland has grown to the extent that we now send out thousands of parcels a day from our Kendal despatch centre, and we have stores nationwide, stretching from Aberdeen to Exeter, with more in the pipeline...
