• Packing and loading orders onto trailers, so they can be delivered to our customers and stores.

• Processing returns, ensuring our customers receive extraordinary service from start to finish.

• And if you like the look of our forklifts and picking trucks, we can talk to you about training opportunities in this area too.

What's in it for you?

As part of a huge and happy working family, our colleagues are rewarded with a competitive salary, 29 days paid holiday inclusive of bank holidays (pro-rata for fixed-term contracts) and a group personal pension plan.

From selling plastic bags for home freezing from the Rayner family garage in Windermere, to over 4000 kitchen and home products today, Lakeland has grown to the extent that we now sent out thousands of parcels a day from our Kendal despatch centre, and we have stores nationwide, stretching from Aberdeen to Exeter, with more in the pipeline...
