We're looking for a warehouse support assistant to join our team in the Lea Green depot.


Working in a close-knit team, you'll get involved with all the administrative tasks within this busy and service driven warehouse environment. We'll look for you to get involved in all areas of the warehouse and no two days will look the same. If you can bring the administrative skills and attention to detail we're looking for, we can offer you a great opportunity with a business that puts people at the heart of its strategy.


What you'll do:
* action colleague holiday requests on system
* audit internal systems
* review and initiate deployment of colleagues
* maintain absence management database
* update labour management details
* input overtime into operational plans
* send daily and weekly reports as required
* update gate log for inbound suppliers
* liaise with cross functional departments


This role would suit someone who has:
* strong administration skills and experience
* great organisation skills
* the ability to work towards deadlines
* great knowledge and experience of using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel etc)
* ideally have experience working in a busy and service driven warehouse environment, but this isn't essential


At Co-op you'll do work that matters, and you'll be rewarded for your hard work with a competitive salary (including additional shift allowances) and a benefits package which includes holidays starting from 30 days per year (including bank holidays), 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores, a pension with up to 10% employer contributions, plus:
* Wagestream - a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
* Free employee assistance programme with extensive health, financial and wellbeing support
* Access to credit unions for loans and savings, plus rental deposit loans and season ticket loans
* Free eye tests every 2 years
* On-site facilities including a subsidised canteen and free parking


At Co-op, we're owned by our members. And because we're owned by you, we can do right by you. So when you join us, you're not just taking a job, you're joining a movement. We're an organisation that puts people and communities first, and we're powered by purpose.
We're building diverse and inclusive teams that reflect the communities we serve.
We welcome applications from everyone and are committed to creating a workplace where colleagues can feel like they belong, supported by our inclusive policies and the ways we work.
We're proud to be part of the Disability Confident scheme and offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for a job. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, we'll support you.
