Customer Delivery Driver Opportunity: Join a Rewarding Employee-Owned Business

Are you a motivated individual with a passion for delivering exceptional service and quality produce? This Customer Delivery Driver role with Waitrose & Partners offers a unique opportunity to become part of a respected and employee-owned organization. Beyond the core duties of delivering delicious Waitrose goods, you'll contribute to the vibrant atmosphere of a local shop and be an integral part of a team that truly values its members.

What Makes This Opportunity Stand Out?

• Be a Brand Ambassador: As a direct link to our customers, you'll embody the Waitrose ethos of "passionate Partners serving food lovers." Your excellent customer service will be key to building trust and rapport, making a real difference in people's lives.
• Varied and Engaging Work: Your days will be dynamic, combining the freedom of the road with valuable contributions within the shop. From route planning and van preparation to assisting with stock and maintaining a welcoming environment, no two days are exactly the same.
• Employee Ownership and Rewards: Joining the John Lewis Partnership means becoming a co-owner. This unique model offers shared responsibility and, crucially, shared rewards. You'll be part of a business that thrives on collective success and invests in its people.
• Career Growth and Development: While this role is at Partnership Level 10, the experience gained in customer service, logistics, and teamwork provides a solid foundation for future career progression within the wider Partnership.
• Attractive Compensation and Benefits: The role offers a competitive hourly rate of £13.39. For those working during specific late-night hours (between 22:00 - 06:00, starting October 5th), there's an attractive Night Premium of £3.50 per hour, enhancing your earning potential.
• Supportive and Flexible Environment: The Partnership is committed to a good work-life balance. This role embraces flexible working, which may include varied hours, early starts, late finishes, and weekend work to accommodate different needs.

Key Considerations for Your Career Path:

• Essential Skills: A full, valid UK B-Category manual driving licence with a clean record (no more than 6 points) is fundamental. Strong customer service, time management, and IT literacy are also crucial.
• Physical Demands: The role involves physical activity, including lifting crates and moving cages. Candidates should be comfortable with these requirements.
• Independent Work Ethic: You'll need to be self-motivated and adaptable, as you'll often be working independently on your delivery routes.
• Age Requirement: Due to the nature of the role, applicants must be 18 years of age or older.
• Vetting Procedures: Be aware that some roles within the Partnership are subject to pre-employment vetting, which may include DBS checks. Prompt completion of any required documentation is encouraged.

This Customer Delivery Driver position is more than just a job; it's an invitation to join a community that values its people and is dedicated to providing exceptional service. If you're looking for a role where you can make a tangible difference, contribute to a thriving business, and be recognized for your efforts, we encourage you to apply.
