About The Role
This is a really important front line role. You represent us with every single customer you meet, and their impression of Waitrose & Partners is down to you. So, as well as having a flexible approach and the ability to use your initiative to deal with unexpected situations, you should be passionate about providing the very highest levels of customer service.
Duties and Responsibilities:
As Partners - members of the Partnership - it's our responsibility to ensure our success for the future. We proactively seek out opportunities to continuously improve the way we work, taking action to ensure the Partnership is efficient and we are all as productive as possible.
You’ll be the friendly face of our business – the helpful driver who delivers the unique blend of Waitrose quality and outstanding service right to our customers’ doors. When you’re not out and about, you’ll be at the store, assisting with stock control and cashiering, which may involve lifting heavy products.
A good appreciation of health & safety is a must, along with excellent driving skills – and we will ask you to take a driving assessment as part of your application.
Required Essential Experience, Skills, and Qualifications:
You will need a full valid UK manual driving licence with no more than six points – and you should be 18 years old or over. Part of the application process will include a licence check and a security check to confirm your suitability for the role.
Required Desirable Experience, Skills, and Qualifications:
Previous experience in a driving role and a knowledge of chilled vehicles would both be welcomed.
Additional Information:
As a Partner, you will enjoy our unique benefits package, including staff discount, subsidised food in Partner dining rooms, discounts in local restaurants, subsidised learning, access to exclusive Partnership hotels, and more.
Please consider the following when making your application:
1. We occasionally close vacancies early in the event we receive a high volume of applications. Therefore, we recommend you apply early.
2. Print off the job description now if you require it.
3. Please be aware that due to the nature and activities of this role, all successful candidates will have a driving license check and DBS check carried out on them through a 3rd party registered body.
