Warehouse Operative

Shifts : 7am – 7pm Tuesday to Friday

Salary: £13.00 p/h

We are looking to recruit Warehouse Operatives to join our established operations team, based at our battery sorting facility in Workington.

You will be responsible for the picking and sorting of various types of recyclable batteries.

No previous experience required, just a can-do attitude and a strong work ethic!

Recycling Lives Services is not a typical recycling company.

Since 2008, the business has been structurally built around social value, employing people from disadvantaged backgrounds, partnering with the justice system to reduce reoffending, and delivering environmental excellence at scale.

The social mission is not a layer added on top of commercial activity.

It is the reason the business operates in the way it does.

As a certified B Corp (scoring 103.5 against a business median of 50.9), Recycling Lives Services generated £42.9m in social value in 2024, achieved a 61% reduction in CO2 emissions, and diverted 97% of waste from landfill. 15% of our team have been welcomed through our rehabilitation programmes, and only 6% of people we support reoffend — compared to a national average of over 25%.

We operate UK-wide across construction, manufacturing, retail, utilities and public sector markets, offering total waste management, WEEE recycling, and specialist hazardous waste services.

What you will be doing:

• To sort and pick through recyclable batteries
• To carry out duties and to work on all the production lines as required
• To adhere to all Health and Safety procedures
• To keep the area you are working in clean and tidy
• Any other duties as required
• PPE - Mask and eye protection must be worn at all times
