We're looking for a Depot Shift Supervisor who knows how to get the best from people and keep a busy logistics operation moving.

This is a hands-on leadership role where no two shifts are quite the same. You'll lead from the front, supporting and motivating your team to deliver a safe, productive and efficient operation while maintaining excellent service standards.

If you have experience leading teams within warehousing, logistics, distribution, parcels, transport or another fast-paced operation, this could be the opportunity for you.

Reporting to the Shift Manager, you'll take responsibility for the performance of your shift and typically lead a team of 10-25 colleagues.

You'll:

• Lead, motivate and develop your team to deliver against productivity, service and safety targets.
• Plan resources effectively, ensuring the right people are in the right place throughout the shift.
• Manage rotas, holidays and resource requirements to maintain an efficient operation.
• Monitor productivity, costs and operational KPIs, taking action when performance isn't where it needs to be.
• Maintain high standards across the warehouse, including safety, security, quality and compliance.
• Manage mis-sorts, damages and scanning compliance to help achieve client SLAs and KPIs.
• Coach colleagues and make sure everyone has the training and knowledge they need to work safely and effectively.
• Support the transport operation when required, helping ensure drivers and vehicles remain compliant.
• Manage day-to-day people matters including attendance, absence, development, recognition and performance.
• Identify potential operational issues early and put practical contingency plans in place.

You don't need to know everything from day one. What matters most is that you're an experienced people leader who can stay calm, make decisions and bring a team with you.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous supervisory or team leadership experience within a fast-paced operational environment.
• Experience leading warehouse colleagues, drivers or operational teams.
• Strong communication and people-management skills.
• Confidence working with KPIs, performance information and operational data.
• Good written and verbal English and numeracy skills.
• Good PC skills.
• The ability to organise competing priorities and make decisions under pressure.
• A proactive approach to problem solving.
• A strong focus on health, safety and compliance.

Experience within a traffic office or transport environment would be an advantage, and IOSH is desirable, but neither should stop a strong operational leader from applying.
