**At Parcelforce Worldwide it’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it that matters. That’s why we’re looking for reliable Warehouse Sorters to join our fast-paced team.**

**About the role**

As one of our Warehouse Sorters, you’ll load and unload vehicles; scanning and labelling parcels quickly and efficiently, making sure every single package leaves our processing centre on time and in perfect condition. In return, you’ll get a rewarding role including best-in-industry benefits.

**Driving Licence Requirements**

It’s essential that you have a full manual driving licence (in your current address) covering up to 3.5 tonnes (Cat B). In an ideal world you’ll have a clean licence but it definitely shouldn’t have more than 6 penalty points. And, just so you know, you’ll be required to show your licence at your assessment.

**About you**

As someone who is positive and practical, you’ll enjoy the hands-on nature of this role. It’s vital that you have good attention to detail and you’ll also need to be able to lift and carry parcels weighing up to 30kg (that’s equivalent to 30 litres of water).
