  • Maintaining a clean and tidy vehicle.
  • Communicating with dispatchers and store staff.
  • Providing excellent customer service during deliveries (if applicable).
  • Working independently and managing time effectively to meet delivery schedules.
  • Adhering to company policies and procedures, including health and safety standards.
  • Handling goods with care.
  • Ensuring the security of the vehicle and goods.
  • Assisting with basic vehicle maintenance checks (e.g., tyre pressure).
  • Working various shifts, which may include early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and public holidays.
  • Resolving minor delivery issues or reporting them to the transport office.
  • Using delivery tracking systems or apps.
  • Contributing to a positive and efficient transport operation.

Qualifications:
  • Valid UK driving license relevant to the vehicle type (e.g., Cat B for vans, Cat C1 or C for trucks).
  • CPC qualification is required for roles involving vehicles over 3.5 tonnes.
  • Good driving record with no or minimal points.
  • Previous experience as a Delivery Driver is desirable.
  • Knowledge of the local road network in and around Bristol is a plus.
  • Ability to perform manual handling tasks and lift goods.
  • Reliable and punctual.
  • Ability to work independently and manage time.
  • Good communication skills.
  • Attention to detail, especially with paperwork and checks.
  • Understanding of driver hours regulations (if applicable).
  • Ability to follow instructions accurately.
  • A proactive approach to work.
  • Ability to work flexibly according to business needs.
