Are you ready for your next roll?

Are you a Class 2 Multi-Drop Driver looking for a role with a bit more substance (and crust!), this could be your moment to prove you're made of the right dough.

Essential Ingredients

• Full UK Driving Licence with Class C entitlement
• Digital Tacho Card
• Full CPC

As 'the UK's No. 1 Bakery Brand' we have been baking bread since 1876. Today, we are proudly a sixth-generation family business, supplying over 18,000 retail customers from 11 bakeries and 16 depots, producing a range of over 70 products, including gluten and wheat free.

We are striving to be a net zero business by 2050 and believe that we must minimise our impact on the environment, whilst making a positive impact on the society we are a part of.

The Recipe

• You'll receive a 6-week induction and support from our in-house driver training team.
• You'll be an early riser-shifts start around 03:30 (some patterns may vary). The upside? Your afternoons are all yours.
• You'll enjoy plenty of autonomy. You'll be given delivery notes (or an electronic device), from which you'll accurately pick the orders and load your own vehicle with our baked goods-either at the depot or on the move.
• To help keep your day smooth and safe, knowledge of basic vehicle maintenance and transport legislation (Driver Hours, Working Time Directive, Highway Code, etc.) will be key in order to relay faults on defect forms.
• Once your route for the day is loaded into your onboard computer, you're off!
• You'll deliver to multiple customers daily (they're like family to us), so top-notch service, strong relationships, and professionalism are a must. This includes being able to manage difficult conversations in a calm manner and acting as an ambassador for our brand.
• You'll work a defined rotating 4 on 2 off shift pattern, including weekends. All of which will hopefully help you to plan your life around work more easily.

At Warburtons, you're more than a driver.

There's no aimless wandering looking for things. You load your own vehicle, making things that little bit easier to find. You'll also make sure each delivery is picked accurately and in full from your delivery notes or electronic device. So, if you like to be hands-on, love a bit of organisation, and want to keep the nation's eggs in their soldiers, then hop in and join us on the road to bread-based glory.
