Key Accountabilities and Measures
So here it is, as one of our Academy drivers you’ll:
- Be supported by the driver training teams in an intensive training course, to gain your Class 2 Licence, with no cost to you.
- Ongoing fully funded Driver CPC (Your Driver CPC training is in work hours too, not outside of them)
- Be an early riser. Your shift will start at around 3.30am, so it’s an early start, but your afternoons will be your own.
- You will also enjoy plenty of autonomy. As a driver you’ll be given delivery notes (or an electronic device), from which you’ll accurately pick the orders (either prior to leaving or out on your route) and load your vehicle with bakery products.
