The role

Once there, you will be delivering the goods straight to the chefs and managers who make the orders or you will be opening up stores to make deliveries – You’ll also be the one transferring the goods from your lorry to the customer – on cages stacked with pallets. Some orders can be large, so it is a job with a real physical element. Health and safety is our top priority and so we will ensure you will have all the latest training and PPE you will need to carry out these responsibilities safely.
What you’ll need

You will interact with the customers at every drop off – so you’ll need to enjoy meeting them, and doing all you can to make their life easier. In addition, you need to able to move cages and pallets that can be heavy.
