18T Delivery Driver

Role overview

This position suits someone who enjoys local driving, takes pride in customer service, and wants to be part of a delivery team that plays an important part in keeping stores supplied. The job is based on a 45-hour working week and includes varied local routes, regular customer contact, and the chance to build long-term working relationships.

The schedule follows an any 5 days out of 7 pattern, so weekend shifts will be part of the rota. Overtime may also be available.

What the job involves

You will help ensure customers receive their goods on time and with a high standard of service. The role includes loading stock at the branch, delivering it to customer premises, unloading on site, and making sure all paperwork is completed correctly.

Drivers are central to the business, and this role is key to keeping customers’ shelves stocked with the products they need.

Requirements

Applicants must hold a Category C / 18T driving licence. You should have at least two years of driving experience, and experience in delivery driving is preferred. The role also requires manual delivery work, strong people skills, a positive customer-focused attitude, and a good standard of literacy and numeracy.

Benefits

The employer offers a wide range of benefits, including a colleague discount card, savings on Tesco purchases after three months of service, mobile and insurance discounts, free eye tests and optical savings, reduced pharmacy health checks, discounted breakdown cover, access to a deals and discounts website with cycle-to-work savings, an annual Save As You Earn share plan after three months, pension matching up to 5%, life assurance of up to three times annual pay, wellbeing support with a confidential employee assistance programme and virtual GP, and a generous holiday package.
