Job overview
The role of the Logistics Operative is to ensure safe and effective movements of goods to support the needs of the Trust.
Products will need to be delivered and collected in a timely fashion in accordance with a daily schedule. Goods are to be handled in a safe and efficient method to preserve quality and support safe collection and delivery.
The Logistics Operative post is a role that will ensure the safe and efficient movement of various materials and waste throughout the Trust. The Logistics Team is being established to ensure that no team works in isolation, and the Logistics Operative, therefore, may be required to move goods/products, linen, waste, post, sterile equipment and other non-patient-facing materials on a daily basis, working to a defined schedule.

Products will be delivered to the Trust’s hospital sites from a number of suppliers and delivery agents, including NHS Supply Chain. The main duties of the Logistics Operative will include:
- Ensuring all products are checked and signed for.
- Loading, moving and collecting cages (both full and empty) on a daily basis.
- Checking the quality of items and rejecting items that are substandard.
- Collection and removal of waste streams from designated waste points across the sites
