This is a hands-on role picking up bulk stock and sorting garments by type, style and quality, or bulk-packing goods for shipment.

  • Physical stamina: comfortable with standing, lifting and sorting throughout the shift
  • Strong work ethic: able to work efficiently under pressure and hit daily targets
  • Team player: a positive, reliable approach to working in a large team

Hours & Pay

  • Monday to Friday, 07:30–16:30, with three 20-minute breaks (unpaid)
  • Pay from £12.71/hour, rising with experience and performance
  • Progression opportunities reviewed after your first month
  • Paid monthly

What we offer

  • Loyalty bonus and company pension
  • On-site parking and casual dress
  • Free company transport from Grange Hill Station (Central Line) or the end of the 150 bus route (Lambourne Road, Chigwell) — the site is remote and not on public transport
