^{About the Role}

^{AVTAV is recruiting Landside Warehouse Operatives on behalf of a major airport retail logistics operation supporting Heathrow terminals.}

You will play a key part in ensuring goods are screened, secured and rebuilt correctly for onward transport to premium airport retailers and restaurants.}

Fixed shift options are available, and pay progression applies after 12 weeks in line with Agency Worker Regulations (AWR).}
