Job Description
Workers-Direct is seeking a diligent and reliable Warehouse Assistant to join a leading distribution centre based in the heart of Stoke-on-Trent ST1. This is a vital role within a fast-paced logistics operation, where you will be the backbone of the supply chain, ensuring goods are received, stored, and dispatched efficiently to meet customer demand. Our client, a major employer in the Potteries region, values a proactive attitude and a strong work ethic, offering a supportive team environment and the potential for long-term assignments. This position is perfect for someone who thrives on being active, values precision, and is looking for an immediate start with a reputable local agency.
By applying for this Warehouse Assistant role through Workers-Direct, you gain access to more than just a single job. We are a trusted temporary staffing agency with deep roots in the Stoke-on-Trent area, specialising in connecting skilled individuals with reputable employers who need reliable staff quickly. We understand the local industrial landscape, from warehousing and logistics to manufacturing and retail fulfilment. Whether you're seeking a temporary role to bridge a gap, a flexible shift pattern, or a foot in the door for a permanent career, our dedicated consultants work to match your skills and availability with the right opportunity. Just as we successfully place staff in Warehouse Jobs in Stoke-on-Trent, we are committed to finding the perfect fit for you.
Key Responsibilities
- Accurately picking and packing customer orders from shelves using handheld scanning devices (RF guns) to ensure zero errors in fulfilment.
- Safely and efficiently loading and unloading delivery vehicles, including palletised goods, using manual handling techniques and equipment like pump trucks.
- Performing goods-in duties: checking deliveries against paperwork, reporting discrepancies, and labelling stock for put-away into designated locations.
- Maintaining high standards of housekeeping and health & safety throughout the warehouse, including cleaning workspaces, reporting hazards, and adhering to all site safety protocols.
- Assisting with periodic stock counts and inventory checks to ensure system accuracy and support efficient warehouse operations.
What We're Looking For
- Previous experience in a similar warehouse, distribution, or logistics environment is highly desirable.
- A strong focus on health and safety, with a conscientious approach to manual handling and working around machinery.
- Good level of physical fitness, as the role involves regular lifting, moving, and being on your feet for the duration of a shift.
- Reliability, punctuality, and a positive, can-do attitude. The ability to work well as part of a team and follow instructions is essential.
Salary & Benefits
We offer a competitive hourly pay rate for this Warehouse Assistant position, which is paid weekly directly into your bank account. The exact rate is dependent on your specific experience, the shift pattern (which may include days, afters, or weekends), and the requirements of the client. We believe in transparent communication and will always discuss the pay package with you upfront before any placement begins.
In addition to your pay, registering with Workers-Direct comes with a host of benefits designed to support your career. You’ll have access to a dedicated consultant who acts as your point of contact for any queries, support with timesheets and payroll, and first refusal on new roles that match your profile. We also provide opportunities for ongoing work, with many of our temporary assignments leading to longer-term contracts or even permanent positions for those who excel.

Do I need any specific qualifications or licenses?
For a standard Warehouse Assistant role, no formal qualifications are required, though experience is preferred. If the role involves machinery like FLTs, you will need a valid license. We also place skilled trades like a Carpenter in Bradford BD4, which would require specific qualifications.

Is there a chance this temporary role could become permanent?
Yes, many of our temporary assignments are"temp-to-perm." Clients often use a temporary period to assess a candidate's fit for their team. Demonstrating reliability, a strong work ethic, and a positive attitude significantly increases your chances of being offered a permanent contract.
What should I wear for my first day at the warehouse?
Safety is paramount. You must wear sturdy, flat-soled footwear (steel-toe cap boots are often required and may be provided). Wear comfortable, practical clothing you don't mind getting dirty. High-visibility vests and any other PPE will be supplied by the client on site.
