We are seeking a Goods in Assistant who is passionate about delivering an exceptional retail experience to our valued customers.

• Have the ability to work under pressure at a fast pace in a team or individually and have a degree of flexibility.
• Have experience of working with a computerised stock management system, using handheld devices to scan barcodes on goods.
• Have a high level of accuracy and be able to investigate and resolve any system discrepancies.
• Make sure that our smooth and efficient processes, for all incoming stock including inter branch transfers, are followed; ensuring all deliveries are processed with credits raised, when necessary.
• Communicate with the team and meet the demands of ‘door to floor in 24’.
• Load and unload delivery vehicles.
• Ensure all customer orders and web orders are picked, wrapped and labelled accurately ready for despatch.
• Arrange deliveries to customer and centres within the group.
• Ensure deliveries are made promptly using efficient route planning.
• Easily engage and connect with customers at point of delivery.
• Carry out vehicle safety checks and maintenance.
• Have a good working knowledge of standard IT applications, specifically Outlook and Microsoft Excel.
• Carry out general maintenance duties as required around the Garden Centre.
• Any other duties required by the Goods in Manager and Garden Centre Operation Manager.

As well as a rewarding career with potential for career development, you can expect a competitive salary, attractive staff discount and paid holidays.
