About Us
Hooton Group Ltd is a growing manufacturer and supplier of bespoke frameless shower doors and glass shower enclosures. We pride ourselves on supplying high-quality products together with exceptional customer service.
We're looking for a reliable and conscientious Warehouse & Dispatch Operative to join our friendly team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in doing a job properly and wants to become an important part of a growing business.
The Role
This is not a high-speed warehouse environment. Accuracy, care and attention to detail are far more important than rushing.
Your responsibilities will include:
• Receiving and checking deliveries.
• Operating a forklift safely to unload, move and store stock.
• Picking and preparing customer orders.
• Carefully packing bespoke glass products for dispatch.
• Carrying out quality checks before goods leave the warehouse.
• Organising and maintaining a clean, tidy warehouse.
• Assisting with stock control and inventory checks.
• Loading and unloading delivery vehicles safely.
• Assisting with occasional local collections or deliveries if required.
What We're Looking For
The ideal candidate will:
• Hold a valid UK forklift truck licence.
• Hold a full UK driving licence.
• Be reliable, punctual and trustworthy.
• Take pride in producing high-quality work.
• Have excellent attention to detail.
• Be physically fit and comfortable handling heavy items safely.
• Be organised and able to work independently.
• Have previous warehouse and dispatch experience.
• Have a positive attitude and be willing to support the wider team when required.
What We Offer
• Permanent part-time position.
• Stable daytime working hours.
• Competitive hourly rate.
• Company pension.
• Paid holiday entitlement.
• Friendly and supportive working environment.
• Free on-site parking.
• Opportunity to increase hours as the business continues to grow.
Why Join Us?
We're a small, close-knit team where quality matters. Every order we produce is bespoke, so accuracy and care are at the heart of everything we do. If you're looking for a long-term role where your work is genuinely valued and you can make a real contribution to a growing business, we'd love to hear from you.

• Free parking
• On-site parking
