Inventory Clerk Jobs in Liverpool L8 | Immediate Start & Competitive Pay
Recruiting Today is actively recruiting for a detail-oriented Inventory Clerk for a crucial temporary-to-permanent position in the heart of Liverpool L8. This is an immediate-start opportunity offering flexible shifts, a competitive hourly rate, and a clear path to ongoing work with a respected local employer.
Inventory Clerk Job Description: Liverpool L8
Recruiting Today is partnering with a leading distribution and logistics company based in the Liverpool L8 area to recruit a meticulous and reliable Inventory Clerk. This role is central to ensuring the smooth operation of their warehouse, maintaining accurate stock levels, and supporting efficient dispatch and receiving processes. The client is a well-established employer known for investing in their temporary staff, with many progressing to permanent contracts.
As a specialist in connecting talent with opportunity across Merseyside, we understand the local job market. This position is ideal for someone with prior stock control or clerical experience who values accuracy and enjoys a fast-paced environment. Whether you're an experienced Inventory Clerk seeking a new challenge, an Admin Assistant looking to move into a more operational role, or an Office Assistant with strong organisational skills, this role offers substantial growth potential. For those with logistics knowledge, this position provides a stable foundation without the requirement for a driving licence, unlike some Driver roles we place.
Key Responsibilities & Daily Duties
Your day-to-day tasks will be varied, ensuring no two days are the same. You will be the linchpin of inventory accuracy for our client.
- Conducting regular stock counts and cycle counts using handheld scanners and inventory management software, reconciling any discrepancies between physical stock and system records.
- Processing incoming goods: Checking deliveries against purchase orders, inspecting for damage, and accurately logging items into the warehouse management system (WMS).
- Managing outgoing orders: Picking and packing lists, ensuring the correct items and quantities are prepared for dispatch, and updating system statuses.
- Maintaining impeccable inventory records and generating daily/weekly reports on stock levels, movements, and shrinkage for the warehouse supervisor.
- Investigating and resolving stock variances, working collaboratively with the receiving, dispatch, and quality control teams to identify root causes.
- Ensuring the warehouse remains organised and compliant with health & safety standards, including proper labelling and storage of goods.
Essential Skills & Experience We Require
To be successful in this Liverpool-based Inventory Clerk role, you will need a blend of practical experience and personal attributes.
Must-Have Requirements:
- Proven experience in a similar inventory, stock control, or warehouse clerical role. Experience as an Admin Assistant or Office Assistant with strong numerical skills is also highly relevant.
- High proficiency with IT systems, including MS Office (especially Excel) and experience with warehouse management software (WMS) or similar databases.
- Exceptional attention to detail and numerical accuracy – a single error can have significant downstream impacts.
- Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks effectively in a busy environment.
- Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, for liaising with team members and managers.
- A proactive, problem-solving attitude and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team.
Desirable Attributes:
- Knowledge of health & safety regulations in a warehouse setting.
- A forklift licence (counterbalance/reach) – though not essential, it is a significant advantage.
- Experience with RF scanners and barcode systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
The site in Liverpool L8 is well-served by public transport, with several bus routes stopping nearby. Many of our placed staff use the local bus network. While having your own transport can be beneficial for flexibility, it is not a mandatory requirement for this role.
Absolutely. The core skills of an Office Assistant – organisation, data entry, accuracy, and software proficiency – are highly transferable to an Inventory Clerk role. We value candidates with strong administrative foundations who are keen to apply their skills in a more operational setting. We provide full role-specific training on the client's systems and processes.
The standard pattern is Monday to Friday, with shifts typically falling between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

We always clarify the exact schedule during the screening process.
You are not just a number to us. You will have a dedicated consultant who will be your main point of contact for any queries regarding pay, hours, or workplace issues.
