This is a hybrid role requiring a minimum of three days per week, split between our new Swindon head office and our outsourced warehouse in Coventry. This is a fixed-term contract ending December 2026. At Cotswold Outdoor Group, the outdoors isn’t just where we work, it’s who we are. Every day, our teams play a vital role in helping people get outside, explore more, and experience the world around them.
We’re looking for an Order Administrator to join us on that journey. This role is about more than just day-to-day responsibilities – it’s about supporting how we inspire our customers, enable our stores, and strengthen collaboration across our operations, including our warehouse partner in Coventry.
We’ve officially made the move to our new office in the heart of Swindon and couldn’t be more excited. Our brand-new sustainable office at 1 Newbridge Square puts us right next to the train station and the new bus boulevard, making it easier than ever to connect. Alongside time spent in Swindon, you’ll also work from our Coventry warehouse location, helping ensure smooth coordination across our supply chain.
This move marks an exciting new chapter in our journey, and our new space has been designed with the future in mind – supporting collaboration, wellbeing, and our commitment to working more sustainably.
About Us
We believe life’s better when it’s lived outdoors. From hiking and wild swimming to simply stepping away from the screen, nature helps us feel alive.

We’re part of the Cotswold Outdoor Group, including Runners Need and Snow + Rock, offering trusted brands, expert advice, and a commitment to protecting the planet.
