• Free wellbeing services to support your mind, body and life
• Life cover worth five times your pay and an award-winning pension with matching contributions up to 7.5%
• A range of benefits to choose from, including discounts, shares and cycle-to-work schemes
• Uniform provided, plus policies to support you through life's key moments

You will be responsible for

• Keeping your van, trays, and work area clean, tidy, and organised so every customer receives their shopping in perfect condition.
