Warehouse Stock Controller

Location: Gloucester
Salary: £30,000 – £32,000
Contract: Permanent
Hours: Full Time

Join a business where accuracy, organisation and teamwork keep everything moving.

We're looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Stock Controller to join our operations team in Gloucester. This is an excellent permanent opportunity for someone who enjoys a varied role that combines hands-on warehouse activity with office-based administration.

This is far from a desk-bound position. Approximately 75% of your time will be spent on the warehouse floor, working closely with the operations team to maintain stock accuracy, investigate discrepancies and support day-to-day warehouse activity. The remaining 25% of your time will be office-based, managing stock systems, reporting and administration.

You'll play a vital role in ensuring inventory accuracy across both our on-site and off-site warehouse locations, helping us deliver an excellent service to our customers.

The Role

As Stock Controller, you'll be responsible for managing stock inventory, monitoring stock movements and maintaining accurate records to ensure efficient warehouse operations. You'll work closely with colleagues across the business, investigating stock issues, improving processes and supporting continuous stock accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage stock accuracy across on-site and off-site warehouse locations.

• Carry out daily perpetual inventory (PI) counts and investigate any discrepancies.

• Book in stock and process returned NCRs.

• Monitor and maintain stock movements and warehouse transfers using Sage.

• Produce stock and traceability labels.

• Investigate stock shortages, damaged goods, mis-picks and customer queries, recording findings accurately.

• Manage returnable assets using the Trackabout system, including stillages and pallet boxes.

• Produce daily, weekly and monthly stock and inventory reports.

• Work closely with Warehouse, Purchasing, Demand Planning and Customer Service teams to ensure smooth stock flow.

• Lead fortnightly zero-pick and quarantine stock meetings and complete associated investigations.

• Support warehouse and transport administration when required.

• Provide training and cover for colleagues during holidays and absences.

• Ensure all activities are carried out in line with Health & Safety procedures.

About You

We're looking for someone who takes pride in accuracy, enjoys solving problems and is confident building relationships across different departments.

You'll ideally have:

• Previous experience in a Stock Controller, Inventory Controller or similar warehouse stock role.

• Strong Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

• Experience using stock management systems such as Sage or Sicon (desirable).

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to investigate and resolve stock issues.

• Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills.

• The ability to prioritise workloads and work effectively under pressure.

• A proactive approach with the confidence to work independently and as part of a team.

• A good understanding of Health & Safety within a warehouse environment.

Essential Requirement

A full UK driving licence is essential. Some stock is held at a nearby off-site warehouse within Gloucester, so occasional travel between sites will be required.

What's on Offer

• Salary of £30,000 – £32,000.

• Permanent opportunity with long-term career prospects.

• A varied role combining warehouse operations with office-based responsibilities.

• The opportunity to make a real impact within a busy and supportive team.

• A collaborative working environment where your ideas and attention to detail will be valued.

If you're looking for a role where you can take ownership, work closely with multiple teams and play a key part in ensuring operational excellence, we'd love to hear from you.
