About the role

We are looking for a proactive, energetic and enthusiastic Warehouse Department Manager (known internally as an Area Manager) to work Days at our Customer Fulfilment Centre (CFC) in Erith; Kent.

Experience in conducting formal meetings, understanding and applying the relevant policies appropriately is desired. Strong verbal and written communication and numeracy skills are a must and a passion for dealing with people and a focus to achieve employee satisfaction.
