Are you a hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, high-volume warehouse environment?
Do you enjoy getting the best out of your team, driving performance on the ground, and keeping things safe, accurate, and efficient? If you’re proactive, people-focused, and ready to take ownership of a busy operational shift, this could be the role for you!
Here at GXO Logistics, we’re looking for four Warehouse First Line Managers to join our new retail operation in Northampton. This is a purpose-designed, dedicated site servicing over 250+ stores, where speed, accuracy, and service are critical—and where you’ll play a key role in delivering shift performance across a high-volume, MHE-heavy environment. Working as part of the operational leadership team, you’ll lead, coach, and develop a team of warehouse operatives, ensuring products are processed, picked, and despatched efficiently, accurately, and safely to meet customer requirements.
This is a full-time, permanent position working on a rotating shift pattern (14:00 – 22:00 / Sunday–Thursday & Monday–Friday). Flexibility will be required to support a 24/7 operation when needed, this is logistics after all!
Pay, benefits, and more:
- You’ll be paid a salary of up to £33,850 per annum, plus an additional shift allowance of £2,500 per annum.
- You’ll also receive 25 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), as well as the option to buy additional days so you can enjoy a positive work-life balance.
- Your benefits package includes a company-sponsored pension scheme, private medical and dental insurance, a 24/7 online GP service, life assurance, and a fully comprehensive employee assistance programme.
- You’ll have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme, and much more.
- You’ll also have access to our GXO University, which provides you with the opportunity to learn new skills and gain qualifications at a pace that you’re comfortable with.
- There’s also our continued focus on internal promotions, over 55% last year!
