Stock Support Administrator

Hemel Hempstead | £27,000 | £14.05 per hour | Weekly Pay | Temp to Perm

I'm exclusively working with a fantastic local business in Hemel Hempstead to help them find a Stock Support Administrator to join their extremely busy and growing team on a temporary-to-permanent basis.

Having successfully supported this business with a previous hire, I'm now looking to introduce another person to the team as they continue to grow and develop the operation.

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to get their foot in the door of a growing business, offering a varied role, plenty to get stuck into and genuine opportunities to develop and progress into different areas of the business.

The position will be split between office-based administration and hands-on warehouse support. Around 80% of your time will be spent supporting the office team with administration, stock records, purchasing and supplier coordination, with the remaining 20% spent working alongside the warehouse team, helping with goods in, picking, packing and dispatching.

You'll be working with over hundreds of different types of spare parts and coordinating orders with suppliers across the UK and EU. You'll also play an important part in ensuring the company's engineers have the tools, equipment, consumables and parts they need to keep things running smoothly.

You don't need extensive stock management or procurement experience for this position. We're looking for someone with previous administrative experience, great attention to detail and, most importantly, the right attitude. Someone who enjoys being busy, can think on their feet, adapts quickly and would relish the opportunity to learn something new.

The Role

Based in Hemel Hempstead (Maylands), you'll work Monday to Friday, 9am – 5.30pm, with a one-hour lunch break (37.5 hours per week).

The position offers a hybrid working arrangement, with 4 days in the office and 1 day working from home. As part of the role, you'll also spend time within the warehouse supporting the wider operations team.

The role is initially offered on a temporary basis, with the intention of becoming permanent.

• Hourly Rate: £14.05 per hour.
• Equivalent Salary: Approximately £27,000 per annum.
• Pay Frequency: Weekly pay.

Key Responsibilities

• Stock & Inventory Administration: Updating stock records, recording incoming and outgoing goods, monitoring stock movements and maintaining accurate product codes, pricing and supplier information.
• Reporting & Stock Control: Producing stock reports, monitoring inventory levels and assisting with regular stock checks, cycle counts and full stock takes.
• Purchasing & Order Processing: Raising and processing purchase orders, monitoring deliveries and back orders, and liaising with suppliers regarding order confirmations, delivery dates and discrepancies.
• Warehouse Support: Working alongside the warehouse team to help receive and book in deliveries, pick and pack orders, and prepare goods for dispatch.
• Internal Team Support: Helping the engineering team with the purchasing and issuing of tools, consumables, uniforms and spare parts.
• Supplier & Stakeholder Communication: Acting as a point of contact for suppliers, contractors and internal colleagues, helping to resolve queries and keep everything moving.
• General Administration: Maintaining accurate records, processing invoices and delivery notes, and supporting the wider team with day-to-day administrative tasks.
• Health & Safety: Following company procedures and helping to maintain a clean, organised and safe working environment.

What We're Looking For

This role is much more about attitude, potential and the ability to learn than having years of relevant experience.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Some previous administration experience, even if relatively limited.
• Basic proficiency with Microsoft Office.
• Excellent attention to detail and accuracy.
• The ability to organise your workload and manage competing priorities.
• Confidence communicating with different people, both internally and externally.
• A flexible approach and the ability to adapt to an ever-changing environment.
• A genuine willingness to get involved, whether that's working at your desk or helping out in the warehouse.

Above all, we're looking for someone who enjoys being busy, takes pride in their work and wants to develop their career within a growing business.

What's in It for You?

The following benefits are available once you become a permanent employee:

• Starting salary of approximately £27,000.
• 26 days annual leave, with the option to purchase additional days.
• Healthcare plan.
• Enhanced parental leave.
• Volunteering days.
• Genuine opportunities for progression and career development, with multiple potential routes to explore as the business continues to grow.
• Flexible hybrid working, including one day working from home.
