More than just a veg box….

Riverford are mad about organic veg. It’s at the core of everything we do. We love to grow it, pack it into boxes, and deliver it to around 60,000 homes across the UK every week.

This takes loads of brilliant people – and working here makes you a ‘co-owner’, since Riverford is employee owned. Success means much more than just profits; we want this to be a place people enjoy coming to work, and a business our co-owners feel proud of!

In 2021, we were delighted to be awarded two-star Best Companies accreditation, recognising Riverford as an ‘outstanding’ place to work.

What you’ll be doing…

Around 50,000 veg boxes leave our farm in Devon every week. In this fast-paced role you will work with other departments to ensure that we create consistently great quality boxes for our customers.

This is a varied and very active role. Veg will arrive at Goods In and once it has been booked in will get stored in the right fridge. We also receive several chilled products that need to be correctly stored.

Your job is to move these products to wherever they are needed in the business. Whether its delivering carrots to go in a veg box or butter to go in a recipe box.

We keep track of our stock with an electronic system so you will be responsible for making sure that we are always up to date with what has been moved where. You will get full training on this as well as for the electric pallet trucks we use to move stock around.

• Warehouse Team Member - Work Pattern: Sunday – Thursday 6am – 2:30pm
• Goods in Team Member - Work Pattern Sunday - Thursday 6am - 2:30pm
• Warehouse Team Member - Work Pattern Friday - Monday 6am - 4:30pm
