A forklift licence is not essential for this specific vacancy, but it is a highly desirable skill that will significantly increase your pay rate and make you eligible for many more roles. The core duties focus on manual picking, packing, and goods handling. However, if you do hold a valid Counterbalance or Reach Truck licence, you must declare it, as it will qualify you for a higher pay bracket (£13.00 - £14.50 p/h) and potentially different tasks within the same warehouse. We often have separate FLT Operator vacancies; you can view general warehouse jobs across the UK on our portal.

This is a common question for job seekers in Halifax looking for stability.

  • Temporary (Agency) Role: You are employed directly by Recruitment Agency London and paid by us to work at the client's site. The assignment has a fixed end date or is ongoing but with no direct promise of permanent hire.
  • Temp-to-Perm Role: This role, like the one advertised, begins as a temporary assignment through us. It serves as an extended probationary period for both you and the employer. If you perform well and the client has a permanent vacancy, they will often offer you a direct contract, typically after 12-26 weeks. It's a low-risk way for both parties to ensure a good fit.

We also recruit for direct permanent roles. For a comparison of the pros and cons, our resource centre has valuable insights.

Absolutely. We welcome applications from candidates in surrounding areas such as Bradford, Huddersfield, Brighouse, Elland, and even parts of Calderdale. Many of our warehouse operatives commute from nearby towns. When you apply, simply mention your location and transport method. The site is well-connected by major roads. We also have similar picker packer opportunities in other regions; for example, you can find warehouse jobs in London through our national network.

To comply with UK law and ensure a swift start, please have the following ready:

  • Proof of Right to Work: A valid passport, OR a UK birth certificate with NI number, OR a Biometric Residence Permit.
  • Proof of Address: A recent utility bill, bank statement, or driving licence (less than 3 months old).
  • National Insurance Number: Your NI card, letter from HMRC, or a payslip/P60 showing your number.
  • Bank Details: For setting up your weekly payments.
  • Relevant Certificates: Such as FLT licence, manual handling, or safety passes if you have them.

Our registration team will guide you through the simple online process. If you're looking for roles in other sectors, such as travel nurse positions, the document requirements may differ.
