Warehouse Operative - Weekend Night Shift

Shifts : 7pm – 7am Friday- Sunday

Salary: £13.00 p/h plus shift allowance

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.

Our PACE values underpin how we work and the culture we are building across the business: Passion – we care about what we do; Accountability – we take responsibility; Collaboration – we work together respectfully; and Excellence – we aim high.

We look for people who share these values and want to make a positive contribution to our business, our customers and the communities we support.
