Job Description
Carer Agency is seeking a meticulous and proactive Stock Controller to join a dynamic logistics and warehousing operation in the heart of Carlisle CA1. This is a critical role for maintaining the seamless flow of goods, ensuring inventory accuracy, and supporting efficient supply chain operations for a respected local employer. As the backbone of the storage facility, you will be responsible for the precise management of stock levels, conducting regular audits, and utilising warehouse management systems (WMS) to guarantee that every item is accounted for and readily available for dispatch or production. This position offers an immediate start, making it ideal for candidates seeking to embark on a new challenge without delay and contribute to a vital sector of the Cumbrian economy.
By applying through Carer Agency, you gain direct access to premier warehouse and logistics opportunities in Carlisle that are often not advertised publicly. We act as your advocate, negotiating on your behalf for competitive pay and favourable working conditions. Our deep understanding of the local market, from temporary warehouse roles to specialised positions, ensures we can match your skills with the right environment. Whether you're looking for a long-term temp-to-perm pathway or a flexible assignment, our dedicated consultants are here to facilitate your career progression. We simplify the job search, handling the admin so you can focus on what you do best: maintaining impeccable stock control.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform daily stock checks, cycle counts, and comprehensive annual inventory audits to maintain 99.9% accuracy levels and immediately investigate and reconcile any discrepancies.
- Utilise handheld RFID scanners and Warehouse Management System (WMS) software to record all goods inwards and outwards, update live stock levels, and generate detailed reports for management.
- Oversee the organisation and safe storage of goods within the warehouse, ensuring compliance with health and safety regulations, particularly regarding hazardous materials or high-value items.
- Liaise directly with the procurement, sales, and dispatch teams to forecast stock requirements, prevent shortages or overstocking, and ensure timely availability of products for customer orders.
- Manage returns processing (RTM), quarantining faulty stock, and coordinating with quality control, while also implementing improvements to stock handling procedures to boost efficiency and reduce waste.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience as a Stock Controller, Inventory Clerk, or similar role within a fast-paced warehouse, distribution centre, or manufacturing environment. A formal qualification in logistics or supply chain management is a strong advantage.
- High proficiency with inventory management software (e.g., SAP, Oracle, Sage) and MS Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs) for data analysis and reporting. Experience with barcode and RFID scanning technology is essential.
- Exceptional attention to detail, numerical aptitude, and problem-solving skills, with a methodical approach to tasks and the ability to work accurately under pressure to meet deadlines.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to interact professionally with colleagues at all levels and from various departments, such as warehouse operatives, General Labourers, and senior management.

We believe in rewarding skill and dedication transparently. For this Stock Controller position in Carlisle CA1, we offer a highly competitive hourly rate or salary, which will be commensurate with your specific experience, qualifications, and the exact requirements of the client.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Stock Controller job in Carlisle?
This role is for an immediate start. Once you apply and pass our quick registration and compliance checks (which we prioritise), you could be starting within 24-72 hours. The client is ready to onboard suitable candidates urgently.
What experience do I need to apply?
We are looking for candidates with proven experience in a stock control or inventory role. Proficiency with WMS software, handheld scanners, and Excel is essential. Experience in a specific sector like retail, automotive, or wholesale is beneficial but not always mandatory; strong fundamental skills are key.
Is this a temporary or permanent position?
This is initially a temporary assignment with a clear need for an ongoing duration. For the right candidate who performs well and fits the team, there is a strong possibility of the role becoming a permanent temp-to-perm position, which we frequently facilitate for our workers.
Do I need my own transport to get to the site in Carlisle CA1?
Reliable transport is highly recommended. While some industrial estates in Carlisle CA1 are served by public transport, shifts often start early or finish late when services are reduced. Having your own transport provides greater flexibility and reliability, which is valued by employers. We can discuss specific site locations during your registration.
What is the difference between applying directly and through Carer Agency?
Applying through Carer Agency gives you an advocate. We negotiate pay, handle contractual paperwork, and provide ongoing support. You also get access to a wider range of roles, like those for a CNC Operator or Electrician, not just this one vacancy. We offer insights into the client's culture and can often secure faster interviews. It's a free service for job seekers designed to give you an advantage.
Can I apply if I live just outside Carlisle?
Absolutely. We regularly place candidates from surrounding towns and villages across Cumbria and the borders into Carlisle-based roles. As long as you can reliably commute to the CA1 postcode for your shifts, we encourage you to apply. We also have roles in other regions, which you can explore on our Locations page.
