• Hardworking and dependable: Takes responsibility and works well within a small, close-knit team.

• A good communicator: Polite, confident and professional when dealing with customers.

Previous delivery experience would be advantageous, although full training will be provided. Candidates with the right attitude and willingness to learn are encouraged to apply.

Driving Licence Requirements

Applicants must hold a valid driving licence appropriate for the vehicle they will be driving.

• Candidates with a full Category B licence may be considered for 3.5-tonne van driving, subject to vehicle eligibility.

• Candidates holding a valid Category C1 licence may be considered for 7.5-tonne truck driving.

• Candidates without a C1 licence may also be considered if they are willing to obtain the qualification.

What We Offer

• £13.71 per hour.

• Regular, planned part-time hours.

• Daytime working hours of 8:00 am - 5:00 pm.

• Approximately 2-3 working days per week, agreed around availability and business requirements.

• Full training and ongoing support.

• Modern vehicles, with fuel and insurance provided.

• The opportunity to secure a permanent position.

• Potential performance-related bonuses and opportunities for increased responsibility as the business grows.

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to join a growing business where every team member makes a difference. The company is looking for someone who wants to become a valued member of the team, build a long‐term working relationship and take pride in delivering an excellent service to customers.
