Warehouse Operative

At Epicurium we believe everyone deserves better, more exciting snacks.

It's our mission to accelerate the success of the best new snack brands by distributing their products to the most forward-thinking retailers across the country.

Since 2013, we've grown by almost 1000% and now have a fantastic team of 28. We enjoy an enviable reputation that means most innovative new snack brands have us at the top of their target list of wholesale distributors when they're gearing up for full national distribution. We are seen as a key player in helping to make their products successful nationally.

The core purpose of our warehouse operation is to delight customers and provide excellent service by delivering the correct goods on time, every time, and in perfect condition. You'd be joining us at a key time as we transform our culture and as part of the team you'll be an important part of this process.

**What you'll be doing**:
You'll be a versatile and active member of the warehouse team with day to day duties including:

- Accurate Order Picking, by Batch and Best Before date
- Checking & Packing
- Order Dispatch & Assembly for courier collection
- Other warehouse duties as work dictates

You'll need to work productively & effectively with the warehouse team and make a positive contribution to our culture through a positive, collaborative and versatile approach to your work. You'll also need a keen eye for detail, ensuring that your work is accurately recorded in our warehouse system, and work at all times in accordance with our established processes.

**What We'd Need From You**:
As an Epicurium team professional you'll be driven to ‘ **make your customer a hero**’ and be guided by our core values:

- Have a clear goal & be driven to achieve that goal;
- Be innovative in your thinking to find new, better, ways of doing things;
- Be a team player. Helpful, open and honest at all times;
- Be engaged and engaging, passionate about the team you’re part of;
- Be a leader, in charge of your own development and inspiring to others.

You'll be as happy working independently as alongside your team colleagues and you'll thrive in a fast paced warehouse environment. We do need you to have previous experience in a busy dispatch operation and you'll know what your strengths are, but will also be keen to continually develop your skills and actively participate in ongoing peer-to-peer coaching as well as formal training.

You'll be driven by being part of a successful team rather than individual success and will be confident, self-motivated, hardworking, enthusiastic, honest and reliable.

The role offers a really good opportunity to keep fit as you'll be on your feet every day moving around the warehouse picking, packing, replenishing and checking goods received. It involves a high degree of manual handling, and requires a real attention to detail to ensure that orders are dispatched accurately and on time - every time. You'll also need a keen eye for working safely within a busy warehouse environment, and you'll be jointly responsible for ensuring that the whole team works effectively and safely whilst achieving challenging goals.

Our base salary is £12.41 /hour on completion of your probation (3-6 months). We'll also provide the tea, coffee and drinks.

On top of that, you'll have 28 days paid holiday + an extra day for your birthday, and the option of being part of our contributory pension scheme.

**Normal Working Hours**:
Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5pm

**To Apply**:
Please tell us why you're the best person for the job, how you'd make a positive contribution to the team, and tell us how your experience and key achievements make you uniquely capable.
