Job Description: Warehouse Picker in Grimsby
Staffing Service is proud to partner with several leading logistics and distribution companies in the Grimsby area, including major operations in the DN40 postcode. We are seeking diligent, reliable, and efficient Warehouse Pickers to join fast-paced teams. This role is central to the success of our clients' supply chains, ensuring that orders are accurately and swiftly processed for delivery to customers across the UK. As a specialist in warehouse staffing, we understand the critical nature of these roles and the skills required to excel.
This position offers an immediate start for the right candidate. You will be working within modern, well-organised facilities, utilising industry-standard technology such as handheld RF scanners and voice-picking systems. Our clients range from national retailers to specialised food and beverage distributors, all requiring a high standard of accuracy and speed. By applying through Staffing Service, you gain access to a dedicated consultant who will support you throughout your assignment, handle your payroll weekly, and proactively seek out the best opportunities for you, whether you're looking for temporary work or a permanent career path in logistics.
Key Responsibilities of a Warehouse Picker
As a Warehouse Picker in Grimsby, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and physically engaging. You will be a crucial part of the order fulfilment process, and your responsibilities will include:
- Accurate Order Picking: Using pick lists, RF scanners, or voice-directed systems to locate and select products from warehouse locations (racking, shelving, bins) with a high degree of accuracy to meet daily targets.
- Packing and Preparation: Safely and securely packing picked items into appropriate containers, cartons, or totes, ensuring they are correctly labelled and ready for the dispatch stage.
- Quality Control: Performing basic visual checks on items for damage or discrepancies, reporting any issues to a supervisor to maintain inventory integrity and customer satisfaction.
- Stock Replenishment: Assisting with moving stock from bulk storage to forward picking locations to ensure pick faces are always stocked and ready for order processing.
- Health & Safety Compliance: Adhering to all site-specific health and safety regulations at all times, including safe manual handling techniques, wearing correct PPE, and maintaining a clean and tidy work area to prevent accidents.
What We're Looking For in a Candidate
To be successful in this Warehouse Picker role, you don't necessarily need years of experience, but you do need the right attitude and aptitude. Our candidate screening strategies are designed to identify reliable individuals who will thrive in a warehouse environment. The essential requirements include:
- Reliability and Punctuality: The ability to commit to your shifts and start on time is paramount. Our clients depend on a full team to operate efficiently.
- Physical Fitness: The role involves prolonged standing, walking, bending, and lifting (adhering to safe weight limits). You should be comfortable with a physically active role.
- Attention to Detail: A keen eye for detail is essential to maintain high picking accuracy and ensure the correct items and quantities are dispatched.
- Team Player Attitude: The ability to work effectively as part of a team, supporting colleagues and communicating clearly with supervisors and other staff members.
Previous experience in a similar warehouse operative or picker role is a significant advantage, as is familiarity with warehouse management systems (WMS) or RF scanning equipment. However, full training will be provided for the right candidate with a positive, can-do attitude. A good level of numeracy and literacy is required to understand pick sheets and safety instructions.

How quickly can I start a Warehouse Picker job in Grimsby?
We specialise in immediate start roles. For many of our Warehouse Picker positions in Grimsby, we can complete your registration and have you on site within 24-48 hours, provided your right-to-work checks are clear. The key is to apply or call us as soon as you see a vacancy.

Do I need previous warehouse experience?
While experience is preferred for some roles, many of our clients offer full training for entry-level Warehouse Picker positions. The most important attributes are reliability, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to learn. We assess candidates based on potential as well as experience, using insights from resources like our guide on mastering the art of hiring.
Are there opportunities for permanent work?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary Warehouse Picker roles are"temp-to-perm," meaning the client uses the temporary period to assess your suitability for a permanent contract. Performing well as a temp is often the fastest route to a permanent position with our client companies.
