Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Warehouse Operative do?

Warehouse Operatives help goods move efficiently through warehouses and distribution centres. Typical responsibilities include picking and packing orders, receiving deliveries, moving stock, sorting products and preparing goods for dispatch.

Do I need experience to work in a warehouse?

Not always. Many Warehouse Operative jobs are suitable for people without previous warehouse experience and provide training when you start. Other positions, particularly those involving specialist equipment, may require previous experience or qualifications.

Do I need a licence to become a Forklift Driver?

Employers will normally expect you to have suitable forklift training for the equipment you'll operate. Different types of forklift trucks may require different training, so check which equipment and qualifications are specified in the vacancy.

What's the difference between reach and counterbalance forklift jobs?

Reach trucks are commonly used for moving and retrieving goods stored at height within warehouse racking, while counterbalance forklifts are widely used for moving pallets and loads around warehouses, yards and loading areas.

What shifts are available in warehouse jobs?

Warehouses and distribution centres often operate around the clock, meaning opportunities can include mornings, afternoons, nights, weekends and rotating shifts.

Is warehouse work physically demanding?

Some warehouse roles involve spending long periods on your feet, walking, lifting and moving goods. The physical requirements vary significantly between workplaces and positions, so check the job description for details.

Can a temporary warehouse job lead to a permanent job?

It can. Temporary warehouse work can help you build experience and develop skills, and some employers may offer longer-term or permanent opportunities. However, this depends on the employer, role and business requirements.
