About the Role
This isn't a standard warehouse role. At DHL Supply Chain, we run warehouse operations inside prisons supporting the HMPPS Canteen Service. This service allows offenders to use their own money to buy approved items such as food, toiletries and everyday essentials - with our teams responsible for picking, packing and distributing these orders within the prison.
A Typical Day May Involve
- Assisting the Warehouse Manager with the day-to-day running of the warehouse operation (based on-site at the prison)
- Line management of the Warehouse Team Leaders and overall supervision of the prisoners whilst they are at work
- Ensuring compliance to Health & Safety as well as prison rules and regulations
- Staff training and inductions
- Meeting and exceeding operational targets
