Delivery Driver – Nationwide

Ocado

About the role

You don’t need to have any previous experience to join our team, just bring yourself and a positive attitude (plus a full UK or EU driving license of course), and our award winning training team will do the rest!

From day one, you will be welcomed into the Ocado family and will be the face of our business, delivering groceries and delighting our customers whatever the weather. Unlike other similar roles, you’ll be glad to hear that your van will be pre-loaded for you, so you can sit back and relax until you’re ready to go. Some of our sites are dual sites, meaning one day you will be out delivering directly for Ocado, and the next you may be delivering for our retail partner Morrisons.

We deliver a first-class service, so as part of your role you will be delivering shopping into customers’ homes.

We offer permanent contracts and a shift pattern to follow to make sure you can plan ahead. You must be able to work both our AM and PM shifts with a lot of weekends included.

You must have your own vehicle to attend the site.

We understand that you have a life and commitments outside of work, so we offer permanent contracts, guaranteed hours and a shift pattern to follow. You must be available to work 5 out of any 7 days per week. Work Pattern – 5×8 Hour Shift Per week. Shifts will be AM & PM’s which will include weekends on a 40 hour permanent contract. You will receive your rota in advance.

What’s in it for you?

Our people are at the heart of our business and without them we wouldn’t be able to deliver our award-winning service to millions of customers across the country each day. So it’s important to us that along with safe working environments, we support and develop our employees with great benefits and opportunities for career progression.

At work

We have an onsite subsidised Cafe and a staff shop where you can buy everyday groceries for a fraction of the normal price, a big saving on your weekly shop! We have a chill out area in our canteen where you can relax and some outdoor seating for the warmer days.

Benefits

We have a whole host of benefits available to you with some of most popular being;

• Holiday purchase scheme so you can spend more time with family and friends
• Life assurance – we fund you for 3 x your salary so your loved ones will be financially protected if you were to pass away.
• Dental insurance – claim reimbursement on your family’s dental expenses.
• Private medical insurance – say goodbye to long waiting lists and get quick access to medical care for you and your dependants. (After 1 years service)
