Warehouse Assistant Team Manager

Warehouse Assistant Team Manager, Exeter, Devon

Our huge distribution centres stock every product we sell in our stores. And they never stop. 24 hours a day, our teams receive, manage and ship out products from across our many different warehouse sections, including fruit and veg, meat and poultry, alcohol and frozen goods.

Our Selection team make sure the right products are picked and packed - quickly but accurately - ready to be loaded into trucks and shipped to our stores. As an Assistant Team Manager, you'll help motivate them to get it spot on, shift after shift.

To lead and develop a large team, you'll need to be assertive, happy handling strong personalities. You'll stay calm and keep track of every detail, even when things get busy. And they're always busy.

Working side by side with your team, you'll show them how to give it their all and keep up with the non-stop orders coming in from our stores. It's tough, energetic and demanding. But we'll give you the right training and make sure you're hands-on and ready to prove yourself from day one.
