Job description

Be our magic ingredient this Christmas and join us as a Home Delivery Driver to help fuel Christmas for our customers! Whether you’re driving to doorsteps, serving a customer or just spreading a little seasonal cheer, you’ll be helping us make good food joyful for everyone. There’s no better time to join our team and help millions of customers prepare for their celebrations and join in the excitement of the festive season.

As one of our Home Delivery Drivers, you’ll focus on delivering our customers’ shopping on time and in great condition, offering them a brilliant service. This includes greeting customers with a smile, professionally handling queries, and keeping them informed of any delays. It’s a hands-on role that also makes you the face of Sainsbury’s, so you’ll take pride in doing right by our customers. You should be comfortable with lifting and moving online containers of up to 15kg. When not on the road, you’ll assist in the store.

You’ll need to be fully licensed to drive, and we’ll provide additional coaching for driving our delivery vehicles. To qualify, you must be over 18, have held a full UK/EU driving licence for at least 12 months, and have no more than 6 points. You will complete an online driving risk assessment during your interview, and if successful, undergo a driving assessment upon joining.

While many roles are temporary for the festive period, there may also be permanent opportunities. Please check the contract type and hours before applying to ensure the role suits you.

Alongside a market-leading pay rate, we offer a range of benefits:

• Discount card – 10% off shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu, and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15% at Sainsbury’s on Fridays and Saturdays, and 15% at Argos every pay day.
• Free food and hot drinks for colleagues in stores.
• Generous holiday entitlement based on hours worked.
• Shopping discounts on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, vouchers, and more.
• Family leave – including maternity and paternity leave.
• Pension scheme – Sainsbury’s matches 4-7% of your contributions.
• Sainsbury’s share schemes – buy shares at discounted prices and purchase shares monthly from your salary.
• Wellbeing support – including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme for confidential support and guidance.
