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 at different times, so our working patterns will involve evenings and weekends in addition to weekdays - so on top of your base pay you will receive premiums that will increase your average hourly earnings to £14.42 per hour. You can also stack your earnings further with enhanced overtime to 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.)

• Company pension of up to 7% matched contributions after just 3 months
• An enhanced digital health and wellbeing service, including virtual GP appointments, for you and your dependents
• Hundreds of high street shopping, entertainment and restaurant discounts
• Life insurance coverage from day one of employment
• 15% off your weekly shop with Ocado.com
• Loads more voluntary benefits such as dental and travel insurance at a discounted price
• Career progression - if you decide that being a driver isn't for you, there's plenty of opportunity for progression, as 87% of our salaried roles are filled by internal colleagues!
