About the role

As one of our Warehouse Sorters, you'll load and unload vehicles; scanning and labelling parcels quickly and efficiently, making sure every single package leaves our processing centre on time and in perfect condition. In return, you'll get a rewarding role including best-in-industry benefits.

Driving Licence Requirements

It's essential that you have a full manual driving licence (in your current address) covering up to 3.5 tonnes (Cat B). In an ideal world you'll have a clean licence but it definitely shouldn't have more than 6 penalty points. And, just so you know, you'll be required to show your licence at your assessment.
