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 Driver CPC

As the UK's No.1 bakery brand, we've been baking up a storm since 1876. Today, we're a proud sixth-generation family business, delivering over 70 products to more than 18,000 retail customers from 11 bakeries and 16 depots-including gluten and wheat-free options.

We're committed to becoming a net-zero business by 2050 and are passionate about minimising our environmental impact while making a positive difference in the communities we serve.

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 5-day pattern, including weekends. That's 43 hours a week, though some weeks may be less. 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.

Extra Dough

• Weekly pay of £831.76


• A slice of the profits (discretionary annual profit share)


• Ongoing CPC Modules (Your training is during working hours-so no need to give up your free time)


• Award-winning pension scheme with company contributions up to 7%


• Life assurance


• Product you'll love, plus deals and discounts for you and the family through our Extra Dough platform


• Continued investment in your personal development


• Kitchens fully stocked with our tasty products-perfect to enjoy with your daily brew
