Did you know that DHL, an award-winning leading supply chain business, also runs warehouses inside of prisons?

• Leading a group of prisoners in a warehouse environment, whilst also being hands-on with picking and packing.
• Reconciling stock levels within the warehouse operation (based on-site at the prison).
• Managing the delivery of accurate and timely dispatch of orders to the inmates.
• Ensuring operational targets are met and exceeded.

WHAT DO WE NEED FROM YOU?

• Current three years of UK address history (mandatory for enhanced security clearance).
• The ability to work in a prison environment, alongside inmates.
• A good understanding of warehouse processes (desirable).
• Good communication skills across all levels.

As well as competitive pay rates, you will be entitled to an award-winning range of benefits including:

• Free confidential 24/7 GP service.
