Why join us? 

Being a Partner in the business makes you more than an employee, you’re a co-owner, giving you the opportunity to influence the way we work for the better. All of us have shared values and common goals and we work as a team to achieve these. As a Warehouse Partner, you’ll always have the support of your team, even when things don’t go to plan.   

Without our Warehouse Partners, we wouldn’t be able to achieve our renowned service to our customers. Join us today and not only will you be joining a unique business, you’ll also enjoy a vast range of benefits and a healthy work-life balance. 

About the role 

Our Distribution Centres are made up of 3 separate warehouses, each holding our Chilled (+2c), Fresh (+12c) or Ambient goods. You’ll be trained in how to work safely across all three of these different environments so you can ensure that our goods are stored, replenished, picked and dispatched using our mechanical handling equipment.

As a Warehouse Assistant for Waitrose & Partners, you’ll be responsible for:

• Taking ownership for your own and others safety whilst at work

• Working both independently and as part of a team

• Supporting our Transport and Branch Partners by ensuring orders are assembled accurately on time

• When handling a product you’ll make sure that it's always received, stored, packed and delivered to our customers to the very highest standards

What else will I be doing?

Other daily tasks will see you: 

• Adhering to all Health and Safety and Operational procedures

• Keeping the warehouses as safe environments for all Partners to work in 

• Please note that this role involves some heavy lifting

Flexible Working

We actively promote flexible working, training our Partners to be multi skilled across multiple warehouses. The Partnership supports agile and flexible working practices, such as when, where and how we work. We have several different ways to work flexibly including part-time, flexible or compressed hours.

Please consider the following when making your application:
