Milton Keynes is often associated with large warehousing and distribution activity, so demand can include warehouse operatives, pickers/packers, FLT staff, drivers and support teams (admin and customer service).

Pay benchmark (legal minimum)

As a baseline, use the UK National Living Wage / National Minimum Wage rates (updated annually on 1 April), then confirm the exact rate and pay structure shown in each vacancy (paid breaks, overtime, shift premiums).

Shift patterns & commuting tips

  • Shifts: day/late/night patterns are common; weekends may be part of rota.
  • Overtime: confirm when it applies and how it is calculated (weekly vs daily rules).
  • Commute: check transport availability for early starts or late finishes.

Keep written confirmation of the agreed terms and the employer/recruiter identity.
