At Parcelforce Worldwide it’s not just what we do, it’s how we do it that matters. That’s why we’re looking for reliable Warehouse Sorters to join our fast-paced team.
About the role
As one of our Warehouse Sorters, you’ll load and unload vehicles; scanning and labelling parcels quickly and efficiently, making sure every single package leaves our processing centre on time and in perfect condition. In return, you’ll get a rewarding role including best-in-industry benefits.
Driving Licence Requirements
It’s essential that you have a full manual driving licence (in your current address) covering up to 3.5 tonnes (Cat B). In an ideal world you’ll have a clean licence but it definitely shouldn’t have more than 6 penalty points. And, just so you know, you’ll be required to show your licence at your assessment.
About you
As someone who is positive and practical, you’ll enjoy the hands-on nature of this role. It’s vital that you have good attention to detail and you’ll also need to be able to lift and carry parcels weighing up to 30kg (that’s equivalent to 30 litres of water).
About us
Parcelforce Worldwide provides express parcel delivery across the UK. We employ over 5,500 people and operate across a network of 54 depots throughout the UK. Our intelligent use of technology helps ensure we stay one-step ahead, and everyone that works for us has the responsibility to create a smooth and efficient service.

Interested? We can’t wait to hear from you.
Trust is important to everything we do in Parcelforce. We want to build that trust from the very beginning of your journey with us. The first step is your interview; and we mean your interview. We want to give you the opportunity to present us with your best examples. As a result, we will provide you with your interview questions ahead of the interview taking place, to allow you time to prepare in advance.
