An opportunity has arisen in the Logistics function of the Operations Support Group (OSG) as a Warehouse Operative/ Driver.

We are looking for an organised person with excellent interpersonal skills to join our diverse and multi skilled logistics team at the London Fire Brigade Operations Support Centre (OSC). This position is split between time working as a Warehouse Operative and Day Van Driver based on the demands of the organisation.

Whilst at our Croydon warehouse at the OSC the post holder will receive and dispatch deliveries, pick and pack stock items, and interact with suppliers and internal clients. Working to tight deadlines to ensure essential items reach their destination to schedule, ensuring our fire and rescue service remains operational.

When operating as a driver, the post could be dispatching from Croydon OSC, or from time to time covering other routes commencing from Park Royal, or Barking, and will cover a specific region of stations to deliver everything from safety and emergency kit to stationary and toilet roll – everything our locations will need to stay “on the run” and to protect the people of London.

We are seeking people who:

• Can work with accuracy, plan and prioritise work with the ability to adapt to changing situations and have experience of using stock management systems as well as general office IT packages such as Word and Outlook.
• Have a “can do” attitude and can work to resolve issues independently when appropriate.
• Experience liaising with internal and external clients to resolve issues satisfactorily.
• Have experience of driving vans, planning, and adapting routes, and making multiple daily deliveries.
• Are confident in safe manual handling procedures carrying weights of over 5kg and no greater than 20kg.
• Have excellent interpersonal skills to work co-operatively and flexibly as a member of a team, and to liaise effectively with staff at all levels.
• Hold a clean current UK driving licence (LGV preferable but not essential.)

Experience of working in both a warehouse environment as well as a delivery driver would be advantageous, but we would welcome applications from those who may have excelled in one of these positions rather than both of these areas.
