Job Description
Temporary Staff Agency, a leading temporary staffing agency in the Gatwick area, is seeking a proactive and experienced Warehouse Supervisor to join a dynamic logistics hub in Gatwick RH6. This is a pivotal role within a fast-paced environment where you will oversee daily operations, ensure smooth workflow, and lead a team of operatives. The client is a major player in the supply chain sector, handling high-volume distribution for retail and e-commerce, and they require a hands-on leader who can drive efficiency and maintain the highest safety standards. This immediate start position offers not just a job, but a significant career opportunity to demonstrate your leadership skills in a critical operational function.
Why apply through us?

Key Responsibilities
- Directly supervise a team of warehouse operatives, including Multi-Drop Drivers and pickers/packers, ensuring all daily targets for receiving, storing, picking, and dispatching goods are met efficiently and accurately.
- Implement and enforce strict health and safety protocols, conducting regular site inspections, risk assessments, and team briefings to maintain a zero-accident environment within the Gatwick RH6 facility.
- Manage inventory control using Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), ensuring stock accuracy through regular cycle counts and reconciling discrepancies to maintain optimal stock levels for a seamless supply chain.
- Plan and allocate resources effectively, including labour, equipment, and space, to meet fluctuating customer demands, particularly during peak periods common in the Gatwick logistics corridor.
- Act as the primary point of contact for the on-site client management, providing detailed shift reports, escalating issues promptly, and proactively suggesting operational improvements to enhance productivity.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience (minimum 2-3 years) in a Warehouse Supervisor or Team Leader role within a fast-paced distribution, logistics, or manufacturing environment. Experience in the Gatwick area is a distinct advantage.
- Strong leadership and people management skills with the ability to motivate, train, and develop a diverse team. You should be as adept at mentoring a new operative as you are at coordinating with seasoned Multi-Drop Delivery Driver teams.
- Excellent organisational and problem-solving abilities, with a practical understanding of warehouse processes, inventory management, and modern WMS/ERP systems.
- A firm commitment to health and safety, holding relevant certifications (e.g., IOSH Managing Safely) and the personal drive to maintain the highest standards of operational excellence and security within the Gatwick RH6 site.
