Warehouse Team Leader – Night Shift – Permanent Role
Location: Waltham Abbey
Shift: Permanent Nights – Sunday to Thursday 8.30 pm to 6am (42.5 hours per week)
Salary: £33525.70 per annum (inclusive of shift allowance)
About the Role
Centric Talent are looking to recruit an experienced and talented Warehouse Team Leader on behalf of one of our clients who are a leading distributor of bathroom, kitchen and plumbing products.
We’re looking for a confident and hands-on Warehouse Nights Team Leader to help drive our clients picking operation during the night shift. This is a key frontline leadership role where you’ll keep the operation running smoothly, ensure orders are picked accurately and on time, and create a safe, productive environment for your team.
You’ll lead by example on shift — motivating colleagues, solving problems in real time, and stepping up to take operational control whenever the Nights Supervisor is unavailable.
If you thrive in a fast-paced warehouse environment and enjoy leading from the front, this could be the role for you.
What You’ll Be Doing
Keeping the Shift on Track
- Deliver the nightly picking plan to meet dispatch deadlines
- Allocate labour effectively across picking zones
- Monitor live performance, accuracy, and completion rates
- Take quick corrective action to keep service on track
- Escalate any risks to safety, service, or compliance promptly
Leading the Team
- Motivate, guide, and support picking operatives throughout the shift
- Ensure tasks and expectations are clearly understood
- Provide real-time coaching and feedback
- Support training and onboarding of new team members
Health & Safety First
- Enforce safe working practices and site rules at all times
- Challenge unsafe behaviours and stop work where necessary
- Maintain high housekeeping and PPE standards
- Report hazards, near misses, and incidents correctly
Quality & Accuracy
- Maintain high picking accuracy and minimise errors
- Carry out spot checks and basic audits
- Support investigations and corrective actions where needed
Stepping Up When Needed
When deputising for the Nights Supervisor, you’ll take responsibility for:
- Coordinating the shift and making operational decisions
- Completing clear shift handovers
- Maintaining standards, discipline, and operational control
What We’re Looking For
Essential
- Experience in a warehouse or distribution picking environment
- Previous team leadership or senior operative experience
- Strong understanding of productivity, accuracy, and dispatch deadlines
- Confident communicator who can challenge standards constructively
- Calm, decisive approach in a fast-moving night operation
Desirable
- Experience deputising for a Supervisor
- Familiarity with WMS and handheld scanning systems
- Experience working in a KPI-driven environment
Why Join Us?
This is a great opportunity to step into a leadership role where you can make a real impact every night. You’ll play a vital role in delivering for customers, developing your team, and supporting a high-performing warehouse operation.
If you’re ready to take the lead and keep things moving while the rest of the world sleeps — we’d love to hear from you.
