Job Description

​​​​£14.40 per hour  (£33,696pa)

Sunday to Thursday 22:00 - 07:30  

Start a new role as a Warehouse Operative for the UKs largest foodservice provider. You don’t need any previous experience – just the enthusiasm to learn and become part of our team. At Brakes we have a diverse and inclusive culture that empowers our people to be the best they can be. As the UK industry leader, we offer job security and career development – with the family feel, rewards, and recognition of our friendly warehouse team in Brighton. We take pride in looking after our people. So, as well as plenty of perks, a generous salary, realistic bonuses, and other financial rewards, you’ll enjoy the training and support to go far.

We supply great food to some of the best-known restaurants and pubs. As a Warehouse Operative, you’ll pick, pack, and check the quality of these ambient, chilled, and frozen food items, ready for our drivers to deliver. You must also hold a valid UK car license as you will be shunting around the yard to prepare the HGV's for loading. It starts with a full induction, but with our backing and optional accredited training that includes forklift, first aid and HGV driving, there’s no limit to your potential. In fact, almost 90% of our managers started here. So, once you’re in, there are plenty of opportunities to move shifts, move roles and move up – if that’s what you want to do.

​​​​​As well as an eye for detail, you’ll need to be comfortable in a cool environment (we’ll provide a free thermal uniform to keep you warm), be physically fit to lift weights of up to 25kg and have your own transport to get here. In return, you’ll enjoy job stability and benefits such as:

• Heavily discounted quality food through staff sales
• Free onsite parking
• Pension scheme
• Additional holiday purchase
• Reward, recognition and referral schemes
• Charitable events to get involved with
• Cycle to work scheme
