Packing Assistant

Bar Hill, Cambridgeshire - Onsite (free parking) Full-Time, Permanent Contract Salary from £25,000 per annum depending on experience

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Packing Assistant to join a well-established and growing business in Bar Hill. Working as part of a small and friendly operations team, you will play a key role in supporting the smooth running of the packing function. This is not a traditional warehouse role. The position involves handling small, lightweight products within a clean and organised packing and fulfilment environment, rather than a large warehouse setting.

As a result, candidates do not need previous warehouse experience. The role could suit someone from a retail, customer service, administration, or other detail-focused background. The most important qualities are accuracy, attention to detail, reliability, and a willingness to learn.

Key Responsibilities

Working as part of a team of 4, you will be responsible for:

Accurately picking, packing, and dispatching customer orders. Checking, unpacking, and storing incoming deliveries. Preparing shipment paperwork and courier documentation. Supporting stock management activities, including regular stock checks. Reporting discrepancies and maintaining accurate records. Monitoring and recording storage conditions, including fridge and freezer temperatures. Maintaining a clean, organised, and efficient working environment. Working closely with colleagues across the business to ensure orders are fulfilled accurately and on time. Following company procedures to ensure a high standard of quality and attention to detail.

About You

We are looking for someone who:

Has excellent attention to detail and takes pride in getting things right. Is organised, reliable, and methodical in their approach to work. Has a positive attitude and is willing to learn new skills. Works well as part of a team. Is comfortable following processes and procedures. Communicates effectively with colleagues. Is keen to contribute to a small, collaborative working environment.

Experience

Previous experience in a warehouse, picking and packing, retail, customer service, administration, or a similar role would be beneficial, but is not essential. Full training will be provided.

Benefits include:

22 days’ holiday, plus a Christmas shutdown (extra 3 days). You’ll also receive 1 additional loyalty day per year (up to 10), with the option to sell back up to 5 days annually. Contributory pension scheme Bonus of up to 20% of your salary Private Healthcare scheme Free onsite parking Monday to Friday, 9:00am – 5:30pm (1 hour paid lunch), with flexibility to opt for a 5:00pm finish with a shorter 30-minute lunch break Regular team events throughout the year, including Christmas and summer parties, office activities, and social gatherings such as sweepstakes and team lunches
