As a Despatch Operative, you will help ensure finished products are checked, recorded and prepared correctly before leaving the site. You will work closely with our warehouse, production and transport teams to maintain high standards of accuracy, quality, safety and customer service.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Monitoring product quality throughout the despatch process.

• Carrying out and accurately recording temperature checks.

• Ensuring products are prepared and despatched in accordance with customer specifications.

• Checking orders for accuracy before they leave the site.

• Communicating with warehouse, production and transport colleagues to resolve discrepancies or delays.

• Following all health and safety, food-safety, hygiene and quality procedures.

• Identifying opportunities to maintain and improve systems and processes.

• Reporting any product, documentation, temperature or quality concerns promptly.

• Are able to manage several tasks and priorities within a fast-paced environment.

• Have excellent communication skills and a practical, hands-on approach.

• Can work independently while contributing positively to the wider team.

• Are comfortable working within warehouse and manufacturing areas.

• Are willing to wear the required personal protective equipment while working on site.

• Have an understanding of transport, export or logistics compliance, although this is desirable rather than essential.

Previous experience within a warehouse, manufacturing, freight, food-production or transport environment would also be beneficial.

When you join 2 Sisters Food Group, you will benefit from:

• Immediate-start opportunities.

• Opportunities for overtime.

• Free on-site parking.

• Weekly pay.

• Exclusive employee discount platform offering savings of up to 60% with brands including Asda, Morrisons, Marks & Spencer and Tesco.
