• Handling products with care, treating every order as if it were your own to maintain quality and customer trust.
• Delivering within the customer's time slot, providing warm, natural service at the doorstep and leaving customers feeling valued and well looked after.

You will need

• Build strong relationships with colleagues to create great team spirit and deliver the best service for customers.
• Be warm and welcoming with customers and colleagues.
• Respond quickly to changing customer needs and embrace change while out on the road and in the store.
• Hold a valid UK/EU/EEA driving licence (full or automatic) for at least 12 months, with no more than 3 penalty points.

• 10% off with your Colleague Clubcard, rising to 15% on payâ€'day weekends, with a second card to share with family
