Job description

We operate Argos Local Fulfilment Centres (LFC’s) nationwide to offer a brilliant choice and quick service to our customers. That means full-time, part-time and flexible hours are available plus overtime so this job could work around you! All we ask for in return is for you to drive responsibly, deliver on-time and with a smile, to make sure our customers have a brilliant experience.

This is a group interview which will last around 1 hour.

What you’ll do

You’ll load your own van with help from the warehouse team, then deliver a set number of drops in a shift with an ePod to guide you. You will need to drive safely and follow our guidelines of course. That said, you’ll put the customer first and deliver smiles as well as packages. We’ll only be a phone call away if you need us while you’re out on the road, and our route guidance will always plan to get you back to site within your shift times.

Shift Patterns are 5:00am - 13:00pm and 13:00pm - 22:30pm. You will be required to do a variety of these shifts.

What you’ll need

For insurance purposes, you have to be over 18 and have held a full UK/EU driving licence for at least 12 months and with no more than 6 points on it.

What’s in it for you?

You’ll really benefit from the supportive, family feel and a helpful management team. What’s more, as you’ll be part of a Sainsbury’s-owned multi-brand retailer, there are many ways you could develop your career across different parts of the business.

You’ll also enjoy discount across all three brands, free onsite parking in most of our sites, and free tea and coffee on site. Plus you’ll get to drive a modern Sprinter van for your shifts, with insurance and fuel covered.

Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues, including:

• After you've worked with us for more than 4 weeks, we’ll send you two colleague discount cards – one for yourself and one for a second user who lives permanently at the same address as you.
• Your discount card gives you 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
• Food and hot drinks are provided in colleague areas in all our Local Fulfilment Centres.
• Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension – we’ll match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates.
• Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice.
• Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
• Our Cycle to Work scheme gives you the opportunity to hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
• Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
