<p class="text-muted mb-3">Looking for Your Next Warehouse Opportunity?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">We're recruiting a Warehouse Operative to join a busy operation in Perth.</p>

<p class="text-muted mb-3">With 40 hours per week and a 20% shift allowance, you can earn an estimated £15.84 per hour, making this an excellent short-term opportunity for someone looking to build their warehouse experience while earning a competitive rate.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you're reliable, willing to learn, able to follow processes accurately and comfortable with a physical working environment.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">What You'll Be Doing</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">As a Warehouse Operative, you'll play an important part in making sure products are picked, handled and moved safely and accurately.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Your responsibilities will include:</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Picking and handling products accurately</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Moving products and stock safely around the warehouse</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Following established warehouse processes and procedures</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Carrying out regular manual handling tasks</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Lifting items weighing approximately 7.5kg</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Pushing and pulling picking carts as part of your daily duties</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Using pallet trucks and other mechanical handling equipment once trained</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Supporting the loading of vehicles</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Working outdoors when loading vehicles when required</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Completing repetitive tasks while maintaining a good level of accuracy</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Carrying out safety checks before beginning work</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Identifying and reporting errors, hazards or issues</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Maintaining high standards of safety, quality and housekeeping</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Working closely with colleagues to keep warehouse operations running efficiently</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Following all health and safety procedures</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Comfortable Working in a Cold Environment?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">An important part of this role is working within different temperature-controlled environments.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Up to 60% of your working time may be spent in cold-room temperatures down to approximately 2°C.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">We want candidates to know this before applying, so you'll need to be genuinely comfortable working in colder conditions for significant periods of your shift.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">What We're Looking For</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">We're looking for someone who's dependable, hardworking and ready to get stuck in.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">You should have:</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">A reliable and punctual approach to work</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">A strong work ethic</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Good attention to detail</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The ability to follow processes and instructions accurately</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">A willingness to learn new warehouse skills</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The ability to recognise and report errors or issues</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Good communication skills</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Basic computer literacy</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">A positive approach to working as part of a team</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">A safety-conscious attitude</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The ability to carry out physical and repetitive work</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The flexibility to work both early and back shifts</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">The ability to work comfortably in colder temperatures</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Previous Warehouse Experience?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Previous warehouse experience would be useful, but the right attitude, reliability and willingness to learn are just as important.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">If you've previously worked in warehousing, production, manufacturing, retail stock, logistics or another physical and fast-paced environment, you may already have skills that would transfer well into this position.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Training will help you develop the warehouse and technical skills required for the role.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">What's in It for You?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">£13.20 per hour</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">20% shift allowance</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Estimated £15.84 per hour including shift allowance</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">40 hours per week</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Full-time hours</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Immediate start available</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Overtime when required</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Training and development of warehouse skills</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Opportunity to gain valuable warehouse experience</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Work as part of an established team</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Could You Be the Right Fit?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">This role would suit someone who likes being active rather than sitting behind a desk.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">You'll be on your feet for extended periods and the role involves regular walking, lifting, bending, squatting, kneeling, pushing and pulling. You'll also need to be comfortable carrying out repetitive tasks while maintaining accuracy and safety standards.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Reliability is essential. The warehouse relies on everyone working together, so we're looking for someone who can commit to the rotating shift pattern, turn up on time and maintain a good standard throughout their shift.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">You'll also need to provide your own suitable safety footwear, and standard background checks will be required.</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">Interested?</p>
<p class="text-muted mb-3">If you're reliable, hardworking, comfortable with physical work and cold-room conditions, and can commit to rotating early and back shifts, we'd love to hear from you.</p>
