Despatch Operative

Are you an effective communicator who can work from your own initiative and foster collaborative working relationships? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a number of Despatch Operatives to join our Despatch team at our Glaisdale site.

These are permanent dayshift positions; in this role, you are responsible for the sortation and onward movement of products by date, and the loading and unloading of the inter-site vehicle. Attention to detail and understanding of the product is really important – the products need handling with care to avoid damage.
