We usually respond within a week
As a Customer Delivery Driver 7.5T, you’ll be the friendly, professional face of our company when delivering and installing products to customers’ homes. You’ll combine safe driving, excellent customer service and practical installation skills to ensure every delivery is completed efficiently and to a high standard. Full training will be provided, including on our products, installation procedures and health & safety expectations, so you’ll be supported to succeed from day one.
Working hours will include early starts and occasional weekend shifts to meet customer demand. You’ll be part of a local delivery team, reporting to the Delivery Supervisor, and will be expected to help maintain the cleanliness and organisation of the depot and vehicles to ensure a professional service.
What we’re dreaming of seeing:
We’re looking for a reliable, practical individual with a positive, can-do attitude. You’ll take pride in delivering excellent customer service, communicating clearly and courteously with customers at their homes, and treating their property and possessions with respect. The role requires physical fitness for handling and moving mattresses and other products, attention to detail when following delivery paperwork and the ability to work to scheduled routes and times.
Experience driving a 7.5 tonne vehicle is desirable and a valid UK driving licence with the appropriate entitlement is essential. You should be comfortable carrying out basic installations and assembling furniture where required, and able to work independently as well as part of a team. Previous experience in home delivery, removals, or furniture installation is advantageous but not essential as full training will be provided.
The best sleep is when we feel comfortable…
We want everyone to feel welcome and respected. We value diversity and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We’ll support you to bring your authentic self to work and provide an inclusive environment where everyone can do their best.
