You do not need previous freight forwarding or logistics experience. We will provide full training and support to help you develop the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in international logistics and supply chain operations. Working as part of a friendly and supportive team, you will become the key point of contact for customers, helping coordinate shipments and ensuring they receive an excellent service experience from start to finish.

This role offers great exposure to international logistics and provides opportunities to learn about customs procedures, freight operations and global supply chains. This is a Monday to Friday role, with a rotating shift pattern of either 08:30–17:00 or 09:00–17:30 and the salary is up to £27,000 per annum.

WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
