Our Warehouse/Stores team are on the lookout for an Operative to join them in a fixed term capacity, on a 32 hour a week contract based on 4 of 7 days. Shifts are usually 8 hours long with an earliest start time of 0500 and the latest finish time is currently 1600. This role is based in our Southampton Ferry Terminal.
In this role, you will be working in the heart of our business, supporting teams across all functions to ensure the smooth running of the operation. A driver’s licence is a pre-requisite for this vacancy as you will be using the Stores van to complete deliveries.

Exposure to different systems will become available to you as you grow in the role, so you will need to feel comfortable using a computer.
