Unlock Your Potential as a Customer Delivery Driver with Waitrose & Partners

Are you a motivated individual with a passion for delivering exceptional service and high-quality produce? Waitrose & Partners is seeking dedicated Customer Delivery Drivers to join their Brighton team. This role offers a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of our customer experience, embodying the Waitrose ethos of "passionate Partners serving food lovers." Beyond the driving, you'll contribute to the vibrant and efficient running of our store, making this a dynamic and rewarding career path.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out:

• Be a Brand Ambassador: You'll be the face of Waitrose, directly interacting with customers and building lasting relationships. Your excellent customer service will be paramount in creating trust and satisfaction.
• Contribute to the Team: While a significant part of your role is independent, you'll also be an integral part of the wider shop team, assisting with essential tasks like stock replenishment and maintaining a welcoming environment.
• Career Growth and Development: As part of the John Lewis Partnership, a leading employee-owned business, you'll be joining an organization committed to its Partners' growth and well-being.
• Rewarding Compensation: Earn a competitive hourly rate of £13.39, with the added benefit of a Night Premium of £3.50 per hour for any time worked between 22:00 - 06:00 (for those enrolled in the Enhanced Hours Premium arrangements), starting from 5th October.
• Work-Life Balance: The Partnership is dedicated to supporting a healthy work-life balance, and flexible working arrangements may be discussed during the interview process.
• Ownership and Rewards: As a Partner in the UK's largest employee-owned business, you'll share in the rewards and successes of the company, fostering a strong sense of belonging and collective achievement.

Key Considerations for Aspiring Candidates:

To thrive in this role, you'll need a specific set of skills and qualifications:

• A full, valid B-Category UK manual driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points.
• Exceptional customer service skills are essential for building rapport and ensuring customer satisfaction.
• Strong time management skills to efficiently plan and execute delivery routes.
• The physical capability to handle the demands of the role, including lifting crates and moving cages.
• The ability to work independently, demonstrating self-motivation and adaptability.
• Basic IT literacy will be beneficial for route planning and communication.
• You must be 18 years of age or older due to the nature of the role.

While not essential, previous experience in a driving role and familiarity with chilled vehicles would be advantageous and certainly welcomed by the team.

Your Impact:

As a Customer Delivery Driver, you are more than just a deliverer of goods; you are a vital link in our commitment to providing unparalleled quality and service. You'll ensure our customers receive their Waitrose orders efficiently and with a smile, reinforcing our reputation for excellence. When not on the road, your support in the shop contributes directly to a smooth and productive operation, making you an invaluable member of the Brighton team.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a forward-thinking, employee-owned organization where your contributions are valued and your career can flourish. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible, as positions can close early.
