  • Customer-Centricity: This role demands excellent customer service skills and the ability to build rapport with customers, making their experience a positive one.
  • Physical Demands: Be prepared for the physical aspects of the role, including lifting crates and moving cages, which requires a good level of fitness.
  • Independent and Adaptable: While part of a team, you'll also spend time on the road independently. Strong self-motivation and adaptability are key to success.
  • IT Literacy: Basic IT skills are necessary for route planning and other operational tasks.
  • Age Requirement: Candidates must be 18 years or older due to the nature of the role.
  • Potential Vetting: Be aware that some roles may require pre-employment vetting, including DBS checks.
