Kendal Distribution Centre

It’s an exciting time to be joining the Lakeland family – it may be Summer, but we’re already making our lists and checking them twice, as we focus on preparing for the festive period!
We’re recruiting for Distribution Centre Colleagues on our 4-week rota pattern. As well as joining our friendly and welcoming team in our state-of-the-art Distribution Centre, you’ll benefit from 3pm finishes on early shifts and 12.45pm starts on late shifts. Plus, you’ll have 3 out of 4 weekends off.
What will your job look like?
Working in a multi-channel warehouse means there’s a great variety of activity. Depending on priorities of the day, you could be doing anything from:
- Getting in your daily steps picking customer orders or filling up our shelves when they run low.
- Packing and loading orders onto trailers, so they can be delivered to our customers and stores.
- Processing returns, ensuring our customers receive extraordinary service from start to finish.
- And if you like the look of our picking trucks, we can talk to you about training opportunities in this area too.
What are we looking for?
If you have warehouse experience, that’s great! But it’s not necessary – we’ll provide a full induction and all the training you need. We're looking for enthusiastic and hard-working people to join the Lakeland family and help inspire magic in the home.
What’s important is that you’re bursting with energy and have the kind of positive can-do approach to work that’ll help you fit right in - all we ask for in return is the sprinkle of enthusiasm, dollop of dedication, and attention to detail required to get the job done safely and efficiently.
What's in it for you?
As part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with a competitive salary, 29 days paid holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata for fixed-term contracts) and a group personal pension plan. You’ll be joining a company that truly values its employees in a friendly and welcoming working environment.
We also offer colleagues:
- Free onsite parking
- Canteen areas with vending machines, TV and pool table
- Free tea, coffee and juice on shift
- Regular events such as charity sales and Breakfast with the Board
- Occasional treats such as bacon buns, cakes and ice-cream
- Generous discounts on Lakeland products and Discount Scheme provided by Retail Trust
- An Employee Wellbeing programme
- Access to our group personal pension plan if you wish to join
A little about us
Founded in the early 60s, we're still a family owned business with the same strong values of quality and customer care now as when we first started. From selling plastic bags for home freezing from the Rayner family garage in Windermere, to over 4000 kitchen and home products today, Lakeland has grown to the extent that we now send out thousands of parcels a day from our Kendal despatch centre, and we have stores nationwide, stretching from Aberdeen to Exeter, with more in the pipeline…
