Job Overview
Love keeping things organised, spotting discrepancies and getting to the bottom of a problem?
We’re looking for a Stock Control Administrator to join our team at the HSL Distribution Centre in Gildersome.
This is a varied role for someone who is naturally organised, great with detail and enjoys making sure everything is exactly where it should be.
Working closely with our Stock Manager and teams across Warehouse, Returns, Logistics, Customer Service and Retail, you’ll help us maintain accurate stock records and ensure stock moves smoothly throughout the business.

- Producing stock and returns reports and highlighting any outstanding issues
- Working with our Warehouse, Customer Service and Retail teams to resolve stock and returns queries
- Monitoring outstanding stock transactions and helping identify potential problems
- Visiting showrooms, retail locations and third-party storage sites when required to check physical stock against our system records
- Helping investigate stock variances and identifying ways we can improve our processes and overall stock accuracy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
