Looking for a leadership role where coordination, quality, pace, and safety matter just as much as each other?
We’re recruiting a Warehouse Shift Manager to support bakery dispatch operations in a large, fast-moving, multi-product environment for both Gluten Free and Core bread products. Your role will ensure products leave the site safely, on time, and to the highest quality standards.
About the Role
This role focuses on planning, coordination, and leadership within a bakery distribution environment. Whilst some hands-on activity is required, the emphasis will be on managing the operation rather than regular picking.
You’ll:

- Be a key influencer in change management and future projects, driving data-led decisions across the team and wider business
- Develop yourself over time, gaining broader knowledge and experience across the on-site distribution function
