Role: Group Logistics Coordinator
Location: Preston, PR1
Hours: Monday – Friday, 40 hours per week
Salary: £34,000 - £36,000 dependant on experience
The Role:
We're looking for an organised, commercially minded Logistics Coordinator to join our growing team.
If you enjoy solving problems, building supplier relationships and keeping operations running smoothly, this is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in coordinating waste collections across the UK.
Working closely with our Group Service Manager and dedicated Transport Manager, you'll be responsible for ensuring collections are delivered safely, compliantly, on time and within budget whilst driving continuous improvements in service and cost efficiency.
The Business:
Recycling Lives Services is not a typical recycling company. Since 2008, the business has been structurally built around social value, employing people from disadvantaged backgrounds, partnering with the justice system to reduce reoffending, and delivering environmental excellence at scale. The social mission is not a layer added on top of commercial activity. It is the reason the business operates in the way it does.
As a certified B Corp (scoring 103.5 against a business median of 50.9), Recycling Lives Services generated £42.9m in social value in 2024, achieved a 61% reduction in CO2 emissions, and diverted 97% of waste from landfill. 15% of our team have been welcomed through our rehabilitation programmes, and only 6% of people we support reoffend — compared to a national average of over 25%.
