Job Description
We are seeking a diligent and efficient Parcel Sorter to join a fast-paced logistics operation in the heart of Manchester M22. This is a hands-on, physical role crucial to the smooth operation of a major distribution centre, where you will be responsible for ensuring packages are accurately sorted, routed, and prepared for their final delivery. The demand for skilled parcel handlers in Manchester has never been higher, driven by the continued growth of e-commerce and next-day delivery services. This position offers an immediate start for candidates who are reliable, able to work at pace, and keen to be part of a dynamic team.
By applying through Staffing Service, you gain access to our established network of top-tier logistics employers in the North West. We don't just fill vacancies; we match your skills and preferences with the right workplace culture and shift patterns. Whether you're looking for early mornings, late nights, or weekend work, we have opportunities to suit. Our streamlined process, detailed in resources like our Candidate Screening Strategies For 2026 guide, ensures a fair and efficient path to employment. We understand the local Manchester M22 job market intimately, giving you a significant advantage over applying directly.
Key Responsibilities
- Manual Sorting: Accurately and efficiently sort parcels, packets, and packages by destination, size, and priority on a moving conveyor system or at designated sorting stations.
- Loading & Unloading: Safely load sorted parcels into designated cages, trolleys, or directly onto delivery vehicles, and unload incoming goods from vans and lorries.
- Scanning & Data Entry: Use handheld RF scanners and warehouse management systems (WMS) to track parcel movement, update statuses, and ensure 100% scan accuracy for inventory control.
- Quality Control: Visually inspect parcels for damage, incorrect labelling, or addressing issues, reporting any discrepancies to the shift supervisor immediately.
- Teamwork & Housekeeping: Work collaboratively with other sorters, drivers, and warehouse operatives to meet daily targets. Maintain a clean, tidy, and safe working environment in your area, adhering to all health and safety protocols.
What We're Looking For
- Physical Fitness & Stamina: The ability to stand for long periods, repeatedly lift parcels (adhering to safe manual handling guidelines, typically up to 20kg), and work at a consistent pace in a physically demanding environment.
- Reliability & Punctuality: A proven track record of excellent attendance and timekeeping. Shift start times are critical in logistics, so dependability is non-negotiable.
- Attention to Detail: A keen eye for detail to ensure sorting accuracy, correct scanning, and identification of parcel issues, which is vital for customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
- Team Player Attitude: A positive, can-do attitude and the ability to work effectively as part of a team to achieve shared daily goals. No prior experience is essential as full training is provided, but a willingness to learn is key.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in offering a transparent and attractive package that rewards your hard work. For this Parcel Sorter role in Manchester M22, you can expect:
Competitive Hourly Pay: You will receive a highly competitive hourly rate, paid weekly directly into your bank account. Rates are commensurate with experience and are designed to attract the best local talent. Overtime opportunities are often available at enhanced rates.
Flexible Shift Patterns: We work with clients who offer a variety of shifts, including early mornings (6 am starts), late afternoons, and night shifts. This allows you to choose work that fits around your personal commitments, whether you're a student, a parent, or looking for full-time hours.
Temp-to-Perm Pathway: Many of our temporary assignments have the strong potential to become permanent positions for candidates who demonstrate outstanding performance, reliability, and a great attitude. This role is a genuine gateway to a stable career in logistics.

Avoid loose jewellery and ensure long hair is tied back for safety.

Some sites may also be accessible via tram or train to nearby stations, with a short walk. Your dedicated consultant will provide specific transport information for your assigned location.
