Warehouse Assistant Manager

Food Distribution | Dartford | Up to £35,000

Ready to step into a leadership role where you'll still be hands-on?

Looking for the opportunity to help shape a busy food warehouse while developing your management career?

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Warehouse Assistant Manager to join a growing food distribution business.

This is far more than a traditional warehouse supervisory role. You'll work closely with the Warehouse Manager to oversee the day-to-day operation, lead a small team, and ensure products move safely and efficiently through ambient, chilled, and frozen storage. You'll also become the go-to person when the Warehouse Manager is away, making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to take the next step in their warehouse career.

What's in it for me?

Competitive salary up to £35,000
Private healthcare and gym membership
Company pension
Free on-site parking
Employee recognition scheme
A supportive business where you'll be given real responsibility and opportunities to develop your leadership skills.

What's the job?

Working alongside the Warehouse Manager, you'll help coordinate the day-to-day warehouse operation while ensuring customer orders are picked, packed, and dispatched accurately and on time.

You'll be responsible for:

Supporting the running of daily warehouse operations across ambient, chilled, and frozen products
Leading and motivating warehouse operatives to deliver high service and productivity standards
Overseeing goods-in, stock movements, picking, packing, and dispatch activities
Maintaining excellent stock accuracy, rotation (FIFO/FEFO), and warehouse organisation
Ensuring high standards of housekeeping, food safety, and Health & Safety compliance
Acting as the operational lead whenever the Warehouse Manager is absent
Rolling up your sleeves during busy periods to support picking, packing, loading, and general warehouse activities.

What do I need?

We're looking for someone who enjoys leading from the front and isn't afraid to get involved in the day-to-day operation.

You'll ideally have:

Experience within a food manufacturing, food distribution, or FMCG warehouse
Previous experience supervising or leading a warehouse team
Strong organisational skills with excellent attention to detail
Experience using warehouse management systems (SAP/WMS experience advantageous)
A solid understanding of stock control, warehouse processes, and inventory accuracy
A proactive, solutions-focused approach with the confidence to make decisions
A full UK Driving Licence
The flexibility to support early starts, late finishes, weekends, or delivery cover when required.

The Opportunity

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing food business where you'll have genuine responsibility, the chance to influence warehouse performance, and a clear pathway to further leadership opportunities.
