Delivery Driver Somerset
Job description
At Hillcroft we supply GP surgeries and Health Centres across the UK with everything they need to run day-to-day. We pride ourselves on our customer service, and this extends very much to how our parcels are delivered to our customers. We are looking for a delivery driver with a positive, cheerful outlook, an excellent attitude and a keen interest in exceptional customer service to deliver medical goods and supplies in the local area and be the face of Hillcroft on the road. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to work for a family-owned business that cares as much about its staff as it does its customers.
If you’re looking for a delivery driver job that doesn’t include weekends or bank holidays then we’d love to hear from you! But be aware; if you are only the average delivery driver that only wants to deliver average service and customer care then this isn’t the job for you.
This role is not just about the delivery but also about the service we deliver! We are looking for a friendly, energetic customer facing delivery driver with that special touch who will treat customers like the important people they are.
The hours will depend on the traffic and route, but we’d expect the daily working hours to be approximately 7:30-17:30.

· Somewhere to work for the long term with the possibility to introduce similar minded colleagues
· A friendly team of managers and staff who all work for, and help each other to ‘get it done’
Primary Duties:
· Loading, checking and securing parcels into the van, and bringing back returns to the warehouse
· Delivering medical goods to our customers (businesses, not residential addresses)
· Ensuring the right parcels are delivered to the right address every time
· Ensuring the delivery is placed wherever the customer would like it in the building
· Ensuring items are signed for and picture taken at every delivery
· Undertaking daily safety checks on the vehicle
· Cleaning van inside and out
