We are seeking a dependable and proactive Yard Operative to join our team at our Galashiels depot on a part‑time basis, working one day each week. This is a hands‑on role that is key to keeping our depot organised, safe and operating efficiently in support of our wider operational teams.

In this role, you will be responsible for carrying out regular stock takes and supporting audits to ensure materials and equipment are accurately accounted for. You will take in deliveries, checking and organising items as they arrive, and ensuring they are stored correctly within the yard. A strong focus of the role is maintaining a clean, tidy and well‑ordered yard environment, helping to prevent hazards and ensure the space remains safe and functional for all depot activities.

You will also assist with the movement of materials and equipment around the site and support the wider depot team with general yard duties.

We expect you to take pride in maintaining a safe, clean and well‑organised working environment, ensuring the yard is kept in good order at all times.

You will have previous experience working in a yard, stores or similar environment and be comfortable taking a hands‑on approach to your work. You should be confident managing tasks independently and prioritising your workload effectively.
