Register once and we will match you to shifts near Hinckley as they come up. It never costs you anything to apply.
Hinckley sits on the western edge of the logistics Golden Triangle, wrapped by the M69 (J1) and the A5, with the M69/A5 interchange feeding fast into the M1 and M6. The town's warehouse ecosystem runs from established stock on Dodwells Bridge Industrial Estate, Sketchley Meadows and Harrowbrook to the large Hinckley Park and Logix schemes, home to Europe's biggest automated parcel depot operated by DPD alongside Amazon and third-party logistics names such as Syncreon and Neovia. E-commerce fulfilment, parcel sortation and 3PL contract work dominate here, with Nuneaton, Lutterworth, Leicester and Coventry all inside a short drive, so labour demand from neighbouring distribution parks spills directly into Hinckley recruitment.
Parcel and fulfilment operations of this scale run on volatile volumes, which is why Hinckley employers repeatedly need to fill temporary warehouse and forklift roles at short notice. WSUK supplies pickers, packers, goods-in and goods-out operatives, loaders, warehouse labourers and counterbalance, reach and powered-pallet-truck FLT drivers for seasonal peaks, sickness and holiday cover and sudden contract wins. We handle vetting, right-to-work verification, PAYE payroll and working-time and break compliance, and we scale teams up for Black Friday or a new client go-live then back down again, so site managers keep throughput without carrying permanent headcount they cannot justify off-peak.
Tell us once what you can do and which shifts suit you, and we will match you to sites near you as they come up — rather than making you apply over and over.
The core of most warehouses: picking orders to an RF scanner or voice headset, packing to a spec, and getting them out to the carrier on time. The usual way in if you have never worked in a warehouse.
Booking deliveries in, checking them against paperwork, unloading containers and trailers, and loading outbound. Physical work, and the part of the building where accuracy matters most.
Counterbalance, reach, PPT and VNA driving for ticket-holders, plus team leader and supervisor roles for people who have run a pick face or a shift before.
WSUK covers the whole of Hinckley and Burbage, from Dodwells Bridge and Sketchley Meadows to Harrowbrook and the Hinckley Park/Logix parcel hubs by the M69 and A5. We also reach nearby Nuneaton, Lutterworth and Leicester the same day, supplying temporary warehouse staff and FLT drivers for parcel, e-commerce and 3PL operations whenever your shift volumes spike.
WSUK recruits across the whole warehouse floor. If you are starting out, picking and packing is where most people begin and there is no experience needed. If you hold a forklift ticket, or you have led a shift before, you will earn more and we will usually have something live. Register once and we will come to you when a shift near you fits.

Picking, packing, goods-in and goods-out, loading and forklift roles come up most often around Hinckley, across day, night and weekend shifts. General operative roles need no previous experience; forklift roles need a current ticket and pay more.
It depends on the site and the shift. Some estates around Hinckley are on bus routes during the day but are hard to reach for a 6am or a night finish. We will tell you what the realistic travel options are for a specific site before you accept it.
For picking, packing and general operative roles, no. Most sites train you on their own system in the first shift or two and the induction covers manual handling and site safety. Experience matters for forklift, VNA and team leader roles, where you will also be paid more.
Most general warehouse roles run £12.71—£14.00 an hour, forklift roles £13.00—£15.50, and team leader roles £14.50—£18.00. Nights and weekends usually carry a premium on top. Every rate we advertise is at or above the National Living Wage.
No. Charging a work-seeker a fee for finding them work is against the law in the UK, and WSUK never does it. The employer pays our fee. You are never asked for money for training, PPE, checks or placement.
