Here at GXO, we're recruiting for a Warehouse Team Leader to join our Jellycat operation in Swadlincote on a 12-month maternity cover contract.

What you’ll do on a typical day:

  • Lead and coordinate daily warehouse operations, ensuring productivity, quality and service targets are consistently achieved across your designated areas
  • Act as the first point of escalation for operational and colleague-related issues, proactively resolving challenges to maintain workflow and customer service levels
  • Monitor and analyse operational KPIs, utilising warehouse systems and performance data to identify opportunities for improvement and drive operational excellence
  • Promote and maintain a strong health & safety culture, ensuring compliance with company procedures, conducting observations and supporting investigations where required

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.
