Experienced Stock Controller – Take Ownership of a New Role

Location: Hull

Pay: £14.00 per hour

Hours: Monday to Friday, 7.00am–4.00pm, plus one Saturday in every three, 8.00am–12.00pm

Are you an experienced Stock Controller who enjoys getting to the bottom of discrepancies and making sure the numbers actually add up?

This is a new role within the business and an opportunity for an experienced Stock Controller to really make the role their own.

We're looking for someone who enjoys taking ownership: understanding how stock moves through an operation, spotting where things aren't working as they should, investigating why discrepancies occur and coming up with practical ideas to improve stock accuracy.

The Role

Working closely with our warehouse and wider operational team, you will help us maintain accurate stock records and ensure that stock and orders are correctly checked and recorded.

Your responsibilities will include:

Managing and carrying out regular cycle counts.

Investigating stock discrepancies, identifying potential causes and helping to resolve them.

Monitoring stock accuracy and highlighting recurring issues or areas of concern.

Ensuring stock adjustments and corrections are accurately recorded.

Supporting the planning and preparation of our annual stock count.

Helping to investigate and reconcile discrepancies arising from the annual count.

Carrying out second checks of orders to help ensure the correct goods and quantities are dispatched.

Maintaining accurate information on our stock-control systems.

Working with colleagues across the business to resolve stock and order discrepancies.

Identifying recurring weaknesses in stock-control processes and suggesting practical improvements to prevent problems happening again.About You

We are looking for someone with previous stock control, inventory control or similar experience who is naturally proactive and inquisitive. You'll be comfortable working independently, identifying what needs attention and taking action rather than waiting to be told what to do.

You will need:

Previous experience of stock control and carrying out stock counts.

Experience of investigating and resolving stock discrepancies.

The confidence to question discrepancies, challenge poor stock-control practices where necessary and suggest a better way of doing things.

Good numerical skills and a high level of accuracy.

Strong attention to detail and a methodical approach.

Good problem-solving skills – we want someone who will investigate why something doesn't match, rather than simply report that it doesn't.

The ability to organise and manage regular cycle-count activity independently.

Confidence using computerised stock or inventory systems.

Good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a wider team.Previous experience of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central would be an advantage, as would experience of supporting an annual stock count or working within a warehouse or distribution environment.

This role could suit you if you:

enjoy getting to the bottom of why stock doesn't balance;

naturally spot things that could work better and suggest improvements;

like taking ownership rather than waiting for instructions;

want a hands-on role where you can make a visible difference.Working Hours

The role is based at our Hull Head Office and reports to the Transport Manager.

Some flexibility around working hours may occasionally be required to meet operational needs. Normal hours are Monday to Friday, 7.00am–4.00pm, with one Saturday in every three, 8.00am–12.00pm.
