Job Description:

Job Title: Warehouse Section Leader – Nights
Location: Hinckley, Leicestershire
Salary: £35,000 - £45,000
Job Type: Permanent, Full Time, Nights, 6pm–6am, Tuesday to Friday

The Role
A growing FMCG warehouse operation in Hinckley is looking for a Warehouse Section Leader to lead the night shift, working 6pm–6am, Tuesday to Friday. This is a fast-paced, high-growth site supporting a well-known snack food brand, running a static workload across days and nights with no quiet periods. You'll take full ownership of the shift: people, standards, and keeping things calm and under control if anything goes wrong.

What the role involves

• Full responsibility for the night shift warehouse operation, 6pm–6am
• Leading and coaching a team, with a Deputy Section Leader reporting to you
• Maintaining standards, productivity and stock accuracy
• Being the calm, decisive presence on site if something goes wrong — from equipment issues to emergencies
• Supporting a genuinely hands-on, invest-in-your-people leadership style, not a sink-or-swim culture

What's needed

• Proven experience as a Warehouse Section Leader, Shift Manager, or Team Leader within a fast-paced FMCG or food warehouse environment
• Confident, calm decision-maker under pressure
• Strong people leadership — coaching, not just supervising
• Comfortable working nights, 6pm–6am, Tuesday to Friday

How to apply
Please submit your CV for consideration. All applications will be treated in the strictest confidence.
