Job DescriptionThis role is crucial in making sure our shops get all of the items they have ordered so that they can give our loyal Greggs customers a great customer service.
This is a physically demanding role as the manual handling of boxes, picking and packing of cages and the pushing and pulling of cages are also an integral part of the role. Working as part of a great team, you’ll have a good eye for detail, and work with the best systems to ensure full pick accuracy. You’ll ensure our trucks are at the right temperature ready to load and products are loaded in to the correct compartment for chill, ambient or frozen.
All this hard work will help our Drivers to get on with their vehicle checks, and on the road to maximise as much delivery time as they can.
Skills- Comfortable with long periods of standing, lifting and carrying
- Ability to work in cold/frozen areas
- Legal entitlement to work in the UK (e.g. Valid VISA or Work Permit for non EEC residents)
- Flexible in availability for working hours (as may be required to work different shifts each week, or asked to work overtime)
- Have a good level of literacy and numeracy skills
- Ideally have previous food handling experience in a warehouse environment
- A Fork Lift Truck licence would be beneficial but is not compulsory.
- Our Greggs Employee Staff Discount Scheme is very generous, offering you up to 50% off our food
- Your holiday entitlement starts with 21 days, in addition to bank holidays, which increases with service up to a maximum of 30 days after 25 years’ service. (Pro-rata for part time)
- After 6 months service you may be eligible for our profit share scheme where the company distributes 10% of its profits and allows you to share in the success of the business
- You will receive free life assurance after 1 years continuous service. This is a death in service benefit which provides a lump sum payment equal to one years’ salary
- You will automatically join our Greggs pension scheme which is a fantastic way to save for your retirement and allows you to benefit from employer contributions and tax advantages
Other benefits include:
- Share Save and Share Incentive Schemes
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Healthcare Plans
- Cycle to Work Scheme
