CROW Recycling: Warehouse Supervisor

CROW Recycling is a charity providing supported volunteering and needs someone to oversee day‑to‑day operations in the warehouse in Hillfields, Coventry.

In this job you’ll be supervising people with learning difficulties working in the recycling and reuse social enterprises. That includes the operation of shredding and baling machinery. The people you’ll be supervising are mainly adults with learning difficulties along with a smaller number of school‑aged teenagers, also with learning difficulties, on work experience. Occasionally you’ll be helping show school pupils on educational visits around the warehouse.

You’ll be one of the organisation’s first aiders and play a key role in minimising everyday risks in the warehouse. You’ll have responsibility for unlocking the building in the morning and locking up at the end of the day.

This role includes a small amount of admin – mainly answering the phone when the office manager isn’t around, checking e‑mails in the mornings and a limited amount of paperwork to log waste paper destruction.
