Job Description
This Inventory Clerk role is based in Cambridge CB4 and supports a busy operation where accurate stock control, tidy storage, and dependable paperwork make a real difference to daily productivity. You will help keep materials, goods, and supplies visible, safe, and available when teams need them. The position is ideal for someone who enjoys practical warehouse and stores work, values routine, and takes pride in getting counts right the first time.
Recruiting Today is acting as the recruitment partner for a local employer in the Cambridge CB4 area. We are looking for a dependable Inventory Clerk who can start immediately and work as part of a small, supportive team. The placement is temporary at first, but there is a genuine possibility of temp-to-perm for the right person. That makes this a useful route for job seekers who want to prove themselves quickly and build a longer-term role in inventory, stock control, or warehouse operations.
Candidates often apply for Inventory Clerk jobs in Cambridge CB4 because the work is hands-on, the hours can be flexible, and the role offers a clear path into logistics, distribution, or supply chain support. Whether you are returning to work after a break, looking for a new local role, or building experience in stock control, this vacancy is designed to be practical, achievable, and rewarding for a conscientious team member.
Key Responsibilities
As the Inventory Clerk, you will be responsible for keeping stock accurate, organised, and ready for use. The exact tasks may vary by shift, but the core duties are focused on counting, checking, storing, recording, and reporting stock information so the business can operate smoothly.
- Count and reconcile inventory: carry out routine stock counts, spot checks, and cycle counts to make sure physical stock matches system records.
- Receive and inspect goods: check deliveries against purchase orders, note discrepancies, label items, and move accepted stock into the correct storage area.
- Maintain accurate records: update spreadsheets, inventory systems, and delivery notes promptly so stock levels and locations are easy to find.
- Support replenishment: monitor low-stock items, prepare picking lists, and help keep shelves, bins, and storage locations tidy and well organised.
- Handle returns and adjustments: process returned goods, damaged stock, or count differences, and report issues to the supervisor in a clear, timely way.
- Follow safety rules: use manual handling techniques, keep walkways clear, wear required PPE, and maintain a clean, safe working environment.
- Assist audits and reporting: help with stock audits, prepare simple reports, and support management with accurate data when requested.
- Work with the team: communicate with warehouse operatives, dispatch staff, supervisors, and other colleagues to keep inventory flow smooth and reliable.
What We're Looking For
We are looking for an Inventory Clerk who is reliable, practical, and willing to learn. You do not need to be an expert to apply, but you should be organised, accurate, and comfortable working in a busy environment where details matter.
- Previous experience in inventory, stock control, warehouse, stores, or a similar operational role is useful, but not always essential.
- You should be numerate and careful with details, especially when counting, recording, or checking stock levels.
- Basic computer literacy is required, including spreadsheets, email, and simple inventory or order management systems.
- Good communication skills are important, because you will report issues, ask questions, and coordinate with other team members.
- A dependable attitude and punctuality are essential for an immediate start and flexible shift pattern.
- You should be physically comfortable moving stock, lifting, walking, standing, and working in a practical environment.
- An understanding of health and safety, manual handling, and good housekeeping is helpful.
- If you have worked as a School Administrator or Pharmacy Assistant, your experience with records, accuracy, compliance, and stock checks may transfer well.
Transferable Experience
Many excellent Inventory Clerk candidates come from practical support roles where accuracy and organisation matter. If you have managed records, handled stock, followed procedures, or worked in a busy environment, you may already have the mindset we need.
A background as a School Administrator can show strong attention to detail, while Pharmacy Assistant experience can demonstrate care with controlled items, labelling, and compliance. Both can be helpful when applying for stock-focused roles in Cambridge CB4.
