Job overview

We are seeking a Stores Administration Parts Department Person to be part of our small but highly skilled Warehouse Stores team, working  to a highly organised standard within a busy warehouse environment.

The role may include working with Field Service Engineers (FSE) out with in the community, repairing and supplying parts needed to refurbish and maintain new and existing wheelchairs issued for clients of all ages who have a wide range of disabilities.

This is a challenging but rewarding post in a supportive and welcoming integrated Wheelchair Service, giving you the best opportunity to flourish.

Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position.

Main duties of the job

You will work  alone and along side a small group of warehouse staff, providing  stock and stores support to members of the service along with working directly with suppliers  to ensure continuity of supply is met. Speaking to clients/relatives, suppliers and multi disciplined members of the service will be required to ensuring that stock is supplied, stored and purchased accurately when required.

There will be a need for you to document interactions and interventions on our database, maintaining and managing the client record according to NHS guidelines.  You may be required to assist the FSE's in their role supplying emergency repair and maintenance within the community of Dorset for our clients.

Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of.  Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service are able to present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
