Aspire Jobs are working exclusively with our client, who are a well-established global distributor.  Due to an internal move, they are now looking for an additional member to join their Customs team.  This is a Part Time role, ideally 25 hours per week.

  • Shipping & Customs experience is beneficial but not essential

This role encompasses all aspects relating to customs clearance and the inward processing of goods procured from overseas

Whilst the role will be quite basic to start off with, after training and over time you will work towards a more specialist customs role, so you must be prepared to learn.

There is a lot of compliance in this role so if you have worked in a compliance/regulated environment then so much the better, but again it's not essential.

Our testimonials

I had a helpful call with Helen ahead of my interview. She made me take a step back and think more about what I actually want from the company, rather than just what I can offer them with my skills/experience. Also helped me nail down a few questions to ask and pointed me towards some extra research to include in my pitch deck. 10/10

Jamie

I couldn’t recommend them more. The thoroughness they showed throughout the process were outstanding. Helen, in particular, went above and beyond by taking the time to provide detailed feedback and support with my future applications. Her advice has been incredibly valuable, and I am extremely grateful for all of her help. Thank you again for such a positive experience.

Thank you so much for all your help and support, it has meant so much to me.
