Customer Delivery Driver - Bailieborough

Role overview

In this role, you will be the first person customers meet, representing the business while delivering groceries and providing a reliable home shopping service. The work is active, varied, and hands-on, with each shift bringing different customer needs. While you’ll spend most of the day working independently on deliveries, support is available from managers and colleagues at the base whenever needed.

Working pattern

There are multiple shift options available. Contracts are offered on both part-time and full-time bases, with weekly hours ranging from 20 to 39.

Key duties

Your main focus will be to ensure customers receive a smooth and positive delivery experience.

Candidates must also provide proof of their current penalty points from the National Driver Licence Services (NDLS) at assessment stage by calling 1890 41 61 41, selecting Option 4, and quoting their driver number. If successful, you will need to share your bank account details before your agreed start date.
