Warehouse Operative - Argos

Job description

Could you support our team and help exceed our customers expectations by performing an important role processing inbound and outbound deliveries? We currently have positions available to meet the demands of our morning delivery and despatch window:

AM Shift: 0300 - 1100 Tuesday to Saturday
AM Shift: 0300 - 1100 Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday (option of a 5th day 1000 - 1800)

Come and join us at our own festive sorting office where we prepare to deliver joy for our customers this Black Friday and Christmas. You’ll be part of a team during our busiest time of the year, bringing parcels and presents straight to our customers doorsteps.

We operate Argos Local Fulfilment Centres (LFC’s) nationwide to offer a brilliant choice and quick service to our customers. Our LFC’s allow us to offer online ordering, home delivery and click and collect services to our customers, and to do this efficiently we need brilliant colleagues move and manage our stock to make sure our customers get exactly what they have ordered and receive a brilliant experience. 

What makes this different?

It’s our customer focus. We don’t have to wait for a spreadsheet or graph to tell us how well we’re doing, because we’re getting feedback directly from the customers. So you’ll hear and see easily the kind of impact you’re making as you speak with your colleagues.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be told via your device where to place items in the depot or which ones to pick, and then prepare parcels for our customers and stores efficiently to assist our waiting drivers. You’ll also be processing items post-delivery for collections and cancellations.

The centre is built on teamwork, and you’ll soon get into the rhythm of the job with friendly colleagues around to help you.

What’s in it for you?

As a recently opened fulfilment centre, you’ll be joining a team at the beginning, quickly making yourself indispensable to our operations. You’ll really benefit from the supportive, family feel and helpful management.   

Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues, including:

• After you've worked with us for more than 4 weeks, we'll send you two colleague discount cards – one for yourself and one for a second user who lives permanently at the same address as you. 
• Your discount card gives you 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat.  This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
• Food and hot drinks is provided in colleague areas in all our Local Fulfilment Centres
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – we’ll match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates
• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice
• Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
• Our Cycle to Work scheme gives you the opportunity to hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
