- Share relevant updates or pass on feedback to the Head of Wholesale to help us continually improve.
Driving & Vehicle Care:
- Operate delivery vans responsibly, ensuring timely and safe driving in accordance with all road laws.
- Keep your vehicle clean, tidy, and presentable - just like the cakes you’re delivering!
- Perform routine checks and report maintenance needs promptly.
Picking, Packing & Inventory:
- Help prepare orders by picking and packing products with care and accuracy.
- Load and unload the van safely, checking deliveries against invoices and collecting signatures or confirmation.
Route Planning & Adaptability:
- Work with the team to plan efficient delivery routes, adjusting where needed to stay on schedule and reduce fuel usage.
- Adapt quickly to changes in delivery times, locations, or order volumes.
Qualifications
- Full UK driver’s licence with a clean driving record.
