    About The Role

    As one of our Customer Delivery Drivers, you’ll be bringing the unique blend of quality Waitrose produce and Partner-led service right to our customers’ doors. You’ll be based at our purpose built Customer Fulfilment Centre in Coulsdon which is closed to the public and has bespoke equipment to maximise your ability to deliver market leading service to our customers. The deliveries fulfilled from the centre are from customers purchasing online within London and the surrounding areas.

    Due to its nature, you need to be 18-years or older to work in this role.

    Key Responsibilities

    You’ll typically start your day in store and you’ll be responsible for:
    • Checking your delivery routes for the day.
    • Ensuring all of the appropriate vehicle safety checks are complete on your van, maintaining full road compliance and health and safety.

    • Full valid B-Category UK manual driving licence with no more than 6-points.
    • Great customer service skills.
    • Able to cope with the physical requirements of the role (e.g. lifting of crates, walking up staircases, moving cages).

    Desirable Skills/experience You May Have
    • Previous experience in a driving role and a knowledge of chilled vehicles would be welcomed, however, we’ll give you all of the training your need to perform at your best, everyday.

    Important points to note:

    It’s important to note that some of our roles are subject to pre-employment vetting (which may include DBS checks for successful candidates). If required, you’ll be informed and provided with information about vetting during the recruitment process and we encourage you to complete any vetting documents quickly to avoid delays. Any DBS checks required will be carried out by a third-party registered body and financial probity checks may also be required for some of our roles.

    We also recommend that you apply as soon as possible as vacancies can close early if we see a high number of applicants.

    We want all of our Partners to have a good work-life balance and we support flexible working. This might mean flexible or compressed hours, job sharing or shorter hour contracts, where possible. Please discuss this further with the hiring manager during your interview.
