Warehouse Team Leader - Stewarts Christchurch
We’re looking for a highly organised, Warehouse Team Leader to support the smooth and efficient running of our Christchurch Garden Centre behind the scenes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Support seasonal changeovers and high-volume trading periods

Day To Day
- Conduct regular walkthroughs of your department and storage areas
- Ensure deliveries are handled efficiently and professionally
