If you love delivering an excellent service, then you’ll love being part of the team at Argos. Working in one of our standalone Argos retail stores, it’s so much more than just driving; you’ll be the person delivering a friendly service right to our customers' doors, making sure they get their orders exactly when they want to.

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. We'll ask you to complete an online driving risk assessment as part of your interview and, if you’re successful, there’ll be a driving assessment when you join us.

We aim to make everyone who joins us be the best they can be and are committed to being a fully inclusive retailer where our customers love to shop, and our colleagues love to work!

Alongside a market leading rate of pay, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues:

• Discount card – 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday, and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
