Operations Support Agent
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Operations Support Agent provides administrative and operational support within a busy parcel and freight environment. Typical requirements include strong computer literacy, accurate data entry, good organisation, attention to detail, and effective written and verbal communication. Experience in logistics, transport, customer service, or a similar operational setting is useful, although training may be provided. The successful candidate is expected to process shipment information, update systems, prepare documentation, respond to operational queries, and work closely with drivers, customers, and internal teams. Flexibility, reliability, teamwork, and the ability to meet deadlines are important, as the role may involve shift work and a fast-changing workload.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
