Warehouse Operative Job Description
As a leading Nottingham NG2 recruitment agency, Quick Placement partners with major distribution hubs, e-commerce fulfilment centres, and logistics providers across the region. We are currently seeking diligent and safety-conscious Warehouse Operatives to join dynamic teams. This role is central to the smooth operation of the supply chain, ensuring goods are received, stored, and dispatched efficiently and accurately.
Successful candidates will be offered an immediate start, comprehensive on-site induction, and the support of a dedicated Quick Placement consultant. Whether you're looking for short-term flexibility or a long-term career path in logistics, registering with us opens doors to a variety of roles. Our process is streamlined for speed—we understand that when you need work, you need it fast. Much like our specialised services for Construction Staffing or Picker Packer Recruitment, we match skilled individuals with the right local employer quickly and effectively.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Tasks
- Receiving & Unloading: Safely unload incoming vehicles, check delivery notes against physical goods, and report any discrepancies or damages promptly.
- Order Picking & Packing: Accurately pick products from shelves using paper lists or handheld RF scanners. Pack items securely for dispatch, ensuring correct labelling and documentation.
- Stock Control & Replenishment: Conduct regular stock counts, relocate stock as required, and replenish picking faces to maintain operational flow.
- MHE Operation (Licence Dependent): Operate warehouse equipment such as Counterbalance Forklifts, Reach Trucks, or PPTs to move, load, and unload pallets safely (full training provided for licensed roles).
- Health & Safety & Housekeeping: Maintain a clean, tidy, and safe working environment at all times. Adhere strictly to all site-specific health and safety protocols, including manual handling techniques.
What We're Looking For – Essential Requirements
Experience & Skills
- ✓ Previous experience in a warehouse, logistics, or similar manual role.
- ✓ Ability to perform repetitive tasks with a high degree of accuracy.
- ✓ Basic numeracy and literacy skills for reading orders and labels.

- ✓ Reliable, punctual, and flexible with shift patterns (days, evenings, weekends).
- ✓ A commitment to health and safety principles.
- ✓ Own transport or reliable means to get to Nottingham NG2 industrial estates.
Note: Valid in-date MHE licences (Forklift, Reach) are highly desirable and can command a higher pay rate. We can also help arrange training for the right candidate. Similarly, if you have experience in related fields like Packing or as a General Labourer, your skills are highly transferable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions about becoming a Warehouse Operative in Nottingham NG2 with Quick Placement? We've got answers.
For urgent roles with an immediate start, the process can be incredibly fast. If you apply today with a complete CV and are available immediately, we can often arrange a telephone screening the same day. Subject to successful checks and a client interview (which can sometimes be same-day), you could be starting work within 24-48 hours. The speed depends on the specific client's requirements and your documentation readiness. Our rapid placement service is designed for this very purpose.
We work with clients who offer a variety of shifts to suit different lifestyles. Common patterns in the NG2 area include:
- Early Shifts (6am - 2pm): Ideal for those who prefer finishing work early.
- Late Shifts (2pm - 10pm): Good for those with morning commitments.
- Night Shifts (10pm - 6am): Often attract a higher pay rate.
- Weekend Shifts: Either part of a rotating pattern or standalone, also with enhanced rates.
- Flexible/Part-Time: Some clients offer 4-on-4-off patterns or shorter days.
During your registration, we'll discuss your availability and match you with suitable shifts. This flexibility is a key benefit of temping, similar to the options we provide for Labourer roles in London.
Absolutely. While MHE (Materials Handling Equipment) licences are a valuable asset and can boost your pay, many warehouse operative roles are for "warehouse assistants" or "picker packers" who work on foot. Your responsibilities would focus on manual handling, picking orders, packing, loading/unloading cages, and general housekeeping. These roles are the backbone of any warehouse and are always in high demand. If you are interested in gaining a licence in the future, we can often advise on training providers and may even have clients who offer training as part of a temp-to-perm progression.
To comply with UK right-to-work laws and ensure a smooth registration, please have the following ready:
- Proof of Right to Work: A valid UK/Irish passport, a biometric residence permit, or other Home Office-approved documents.
- Proof of Address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or council tax bill (less than 3 months old).
- National Insurance Number: Your NI card, letter from HMRC, or proof from a payslip/P60.
- Bank Details: For setting up your weekly pay.
- Relevant Qualifications/Certificates: Such as Forklift Licence, CSCS card, or any other industry-specific tickets.
We can guide you through this process. Our approach is consistent whether you're registering for a warehouse role, a Traffic Marshall position, or a School Receptionist job.
Pay is straightforward and reliable with Quick Placement:
- Weekly Pay: You will be paid every Friday for the hours worked the previous week (Monday-Sunday).
- Pay Rate: Your agreed hourly rate (e.g., £12.50) will be clearly stated in your assignment details.
- Holiday Pay: As a temporary worker, you are entitled to holiday pay. This is accrued as you work and can be paid out with your weekly wage or saved and taken when you have a holiday.
- Payslips: Detailed digital payslips are provided every payday, showing your hours, rate, deductions, and holiday pay accrued.
- Payment Method: Payment is made directly into your UK bank account via BACS.
