This is an excellent opportunity for a hands-on, commercially minded manager to take ownership of warehouse and production operations, drive operational efficiency and lead a team within an established healthcare products business.

The Role

Reporting into senior management, you will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of warehouse, production, stock control and dispatch operations, ensuring processes are efficient, quality standards are maintained and customer orders are fulfilled accurately and on time.

You will play a key role in improving operational performance, developing the team and ensuring the smooth coordination of stock, production and distribution activities.

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee the day-to-day management of warehouse, production, goods-in and dispatch operations.
• Plan and coordinate production schedules to meet customer demand and delivery deadlines.
• Lead, motivate and develop warehouse and production personnel.
• Manage stock control, inventory accuracy, replenishment and stock rotation.
• Ensure customer orders are picked, packed and dispatched accurately and on time.
• Monitor productivity, output, quality and overall operational performance.
• Identify and implement process improvements to increase efficiency and reduce waste.
• Maintain high standards of health and safety across warehouse and production areas.
• Ensure products are handled, stored and packaged appropriately to maintain quality and integrity.
• Work closely with purchasing, sales and other internal departments to ensure smooth operations.
• Monitor KPIs, maintain accurate records and report on operational performance.
• Resolve day-to-day operational challenges while driving a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous experience managing warehouse and production operations within a manufacturing, distribution or similar environment.

• Experience coordinating production planning, workloads and operational priorities.
• A good understanding of health and safety and quality management procedures.
• Strong organisational, communication and problem-solving skills.
• Experience using warehouse management systems, stock control software or ERP systems.
• The ability to identify opportunities for improvement and deliver measurable operational results.

Experience within medical equipment, healthcare products or a regulated manufacturing environment would be advantageous but is not essential.

What’s on Offer?
