At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

We are professionals with purpose, beating cancer every day. But we need to go much further and much faster. That’s why we’re looking for someone talented, someone determined, someone like you.

As the sector-leading charity retailer, and following a review of our operational stock management, fulfilment, and distribution we are entering an exciting new core infrastructural change with the introduction of Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs) to our portfolio of shops and superstores. In Team Trading, we’re ambitious and ready for growth. These changes will ultimately drive forward our profitability as the sector-leading charity retailer and improve our contribution towards our mission of beating cancer.

Our RDCs will provide an opportunity for us to process, store and distribute stock across our network, while also providing an extension to our Marketplace and e-commerce activity.

Part of this change will include the introduction of a new centralised driver management team to provide specialist support for our drivers and deliver investment in new fleet management software.

We are looking for two experienced Transport Supervisors to assist with the day to day running of Cancer Research UK’s busy retail driver team. This will involve supporting the delivery of a high standard of service to our shops, superstores, warehouses, supporters, and corporate partners. One role will be responsible for transport operations in the Southern half of the UK, and another will be responsible for the Northern half of the UK including Scotland.

Together the two supervisors will be working alongside 50+ busy drivers all over the UK, so we are looking for candidates who have extensive experience working with drivers, understanding them and are able to support them to achieve their potential. You will also be confident in supporting the management of the driver’s productivity, annual leave and monitoring sickness and absenteeism. We are looking for someone who wants to a build a diverse team which works together well, ensuring everyone is engaged and motivated, creating a culture of ownership and high performance.

What will I gain?

Each and every one of our employees contributes to our progress and is supporting our work to beat cancer. We think that’s impressive.

Our benefits package includes a substantial retirement plan, a generous and flexible leave allowance, discounts on anything from travel to technology, gym membership, and much more.

We don’t forget people have lives outside of work too and so we actively encourage a flexible working culture.

Our work – from funding cutting-edge research to developing public policy – will change the world. It’s exciting to be part of our team.

How do I apply?
