Job description

Love being on the move and interacting with people from all walks of life? Proud to deliver quality goods on time and put a smile on thousands of faces every week?

Join Ocado Logistics where there are bags of possibilities.

It's our mission to provide an outstanding customer experience. Whilst others might call you delivery drivers, here at Ocado Logistics our Customer Service Team Members play a vital role, delivering top quality products on time and in an efficient manner.

You’ll be out on the road whatever the weather, but you’ll never have to fight over the radio station, and you can sing along as loud as you like!

In return, we use our automated technology to pre plan your route and pre-load your van!

Everyone likes their groceries delivered at different times, which is why our shifts include evenings, weekends, and weekdays. In return, you'll receive premium payments on top of your base pay, boosting your average hourly earnings to £13.75 per hour. Plus, with enhanced overtime rates available, you'll have even more opportunities to increase your earnings and help fund those special occasions.

All your breaks are paid, meaning for every minute at work you get paid. That’s a great deal!

(Everyone’s shifts will vary but more information is included at the bottom of this advert to help you understand what that might look like.)

So what do we need from you?

• Maximum of 6 penalty points.
• No driving disqualifications in the past 5 years.

As this is a customer facing role, good communication skills are also essential.
