Job description

Social network you want to login/join with:

Shifts: 43 hours per week, 5 over 7 rolling rota

Salary: £581.09 per week (rising to £756.46 per week upon completion and move into Class 2 position)

Do you have your Class B car licence with the desire to further your career and gain your Class 2 licence, with all of the costs of your training and licence taken care of?

To join the Warburtons family, you’ll need a full current UK Driving Licence with no more than 6 points. You should have a good knowledge of transport legislation, be reliable, responsible, customer-focused, and used to working in a fast-paced environment, ideally with multi-drop or home delivery experience and previous experience of picking orders.

The Recipe

• Be supported by the driver training teams in an intensive training course to gain your Class 2 Licence, with no cost to you.
• Ongoing fully funded Driver CPC (your Driver CPC training is during work hours, not outside of them)
• Be an early riser. Your shift will start around 3.30am, so it’s an early start, but your afternoons will be your own.
• Enjoy plenty of autonomy. As a driver, you’ll be given delivery notes (or an electronic device), from which you’ll accurately pick the orders (either prior to leaving or out on your route) and load your vehicle with bakery products.
• Work set contracted hours with stable shift patterns, totaling 43 hours a week, working a rotating 5-day schedule including weekends. A typical week may be less than that, helping you plan your life around work more easily.
