Trosolwg o'r swydd

An exciting opportunity has arisen to become part of a small friendly team which provides a logistics delivery service, based at our Distribution Centre Estover Plymouth.

This post will work as part of the logistics team that picks, drives and delivers goods from our Distribution Centre to all 11 hospital floors, covering duties from 07:30 to 17:00.  

Demonstrable experience working in a goods-inwards / stock control situation would be a distinct advantage, as well as good IT skills, as the team will be using the Trust’s electronic stock control system to capture electronic signatures.

The ability to work on own initiative (prioritising own workload if necessary) is a key element of this role.

Applicants would need to be physically fit as the post involves moving, lifting and delivery of medical consumables.

This post also requires a current driving license, and a forklift license would be an advantage, though training can be provided. 

Preference will be given to internal Trust staff, as well as ‘Priority’ and 'At Risk' status including NHS At Risk staff throughout Devon who are able to display recent relevant experience as dictated by the Person Specification.
