This role is a permanent contract, 40 hours per week - Working Monday-Friday, which is inclusive of Bank Holidays. Start and finish times vary, we usually arrive at the hub between the hours of 4am to 6am and finish when all of the veg boxes have been delivered.

We’re looking for careful and responsible deliver drivers who know their way around a busy round and take pride in doing things well.
