Work history

Retail Operative

River Island
Bradford, West Yorkshire
2025.10 - Current

During my shifts, I take in deliveries and process everything so it can get onto the shop floor to be sold. As well as this, I also do overstocking and refilling to ensure all the right items are on the shopfloor all the time. When needed, I also go onto the shopfloor to help customers directly.

Operative

Radio Design Ltd
Saltaire, West Yorkshire
2025.06 - 2025.09

The company had to relocate from one section of the mill to another section. My role was to ensure the move was as time-efficient as possible. By doing this, I had to use spatial awareness skills to ensure everything fit in the space provided. When needed, I also helped the team by conducting tests on units that the company make.

Retail Operative

River Island
Bradford, West Yorkshire
2024.06 - 2024.09

During the summer break from university, I worked for River Island. In this position, I conducted stocktakes, tagged clothes, took in deliveries, and sorted them from unpacking to placing them on the shop floor. I worked within a team and also worked on my own.

Operative

Radio Design Ltd
Bradford, West Yorkshire
2023.07 - 2023.09

During this time at Radio Design, the HRS department was moving from one location to another within Salts Mill (Saltaire). I assisted with this move by stock taking, recycling used items, and repurposing unused equipment by shipping them to another branch in India.

Operative

Radio Design
Bradford, West Yorkshire
2020.06 - 2020.09

During my time at Radio Design, I undertook various tasks within the assembly operative role. These tasks included logistics control, stock taking, and testing of 2G and 3G products. As part of the testing, this also included the disassembly of the units for the technicians to repair. All this was done on a production line.
