About the Role

At Supportive Bridge Staffing Agency, we are dedicated to matching focused, reliable individuals with stable, reward-driven careers. We are delighted to partner with Lidl to find outstanding Warehouse Operatives for their Regional Distribution Centre in Severn Beach.

As a Warehouse Operative, you are the backbone of store operations. Working in either the Chiller or Fruit & Veg departments, you will make sure stores receive the right stock at the right time. Guided by voice-picking instructions through a headset, you will work independently to pack, stack, and secure orders. If you take pride in physical, hands-on work, enjoy hitting goals, and want a role where your efforts directly keep local communities fed, this is your bridge to a brilliant logistics career.

What You’ll Do

• Voice Picking: Carefully listen to and swiftly follow picking instructions sent through your headset.

• Handle Diverse Stock: Pack and organize fresh produce, dairy, chiller items, and frozen goods.

• Secure Deliveries: Make sure all outgoing pallets are perfectly stacked, stable, and secure for transit.

• Conduct Stock Checks: Help with general stock-checking tasks and immediately report any damaged items to your manager.

• Work Safely & Independently: Take ownership of your daily targets while maintaining strict Health and Safety guidelines.

What You’ll Need

• Prior experience in a fast-paced environment (warehouse, retail, or hospitality experience is great, but not essential as full training is provided!).

• The drive, focus, and energy to consistently meet your daily targets.

• Sharp attention to detail, especially when working quickly.

• High self-motivation and a reliable, positive attitude.

• Physical fitness to comfortable navigate a warehouse and handle stock.

What You’ll Receive

Lidl highly values the dedication of its logistics teams, offering a competitive pay structure and a fantastic suite of benefits to support your personal life and well-being:

• Premium Pay Rates: Extra premium payments of £1.50 per hour when working in the freezer (temperatures as low as -18°C), plus an extra £2.00 per hour for bank holidays and £3.50 per hour for night hours.

• Generous Time Off: 30–35 days of holiday per annum (pro rata).

• In-Store Discount: A 10% discount to use on your weekly shopping at Lidl.

• Financial Protection: A company pension scheme.

• Well-being Perks: Enhanced family leave options and gym discounts.

• Easy Commute: Convenient, heavily subsidised transport routes directly to the warehouse.
