Replenishment & Distribution Assistant

Every day our customers are inspired by a range of quality products and services offered at our Downtown Boston store.  Our aim is to provide each customer with an exceptional service that complements our extensive product range and caters individually to each customer’s needs.

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen for a Replenishment / Distribution Assistant to process incoming stock ranging from furniture requiring assembly to smaller items for ticketing and pricing.

Duties for this hugely varied role include accepting incoming stock and ensuring items are accurately accounted for by liaising with our Buying team, suppliers and Finance team, and then transferring stock to where it needs to be for our customers.  Operating a forklift is a requirement of the role as is attention to detail, as some of the processing of stock will include partial fulfilment and / or support for online orders or customer collection.  

You must be able to prioritise tasks, have a strong work ethic and be able to communicate confidently with a wide range of people. Computer literacy is required and prior forklift training would also be beneficial, although this will be provided for the successful candidate. 

Hours are 32.5 per week on average, normally worked on a four-weekly rota between the hours of 8am-5.30pm. The position is mainly Monday to Friday working but may occasionally include weekend work to support our busiest trading days.

Our benefits package includes staff discount of up to 20% across all of our stores, subsidised food and drink, career progression opportunities within a friendly team environment and industry-leading rewards for long service.  And as our staff trust holds 15% of our Company’s shares, employees can also benefit from a share of the profits whenever dividends are paid to Shareholders.

If you feel you would be an asset to our friendly team at Downtown Boston we would love to hear from you.
