Waitrose Hiring for Customer Delivery Driver, Supermarket Assistant at Nailsea BS48 Full Time

A career on the road with Waitrose & Partners is more than just about driving; it’s the opportunity for you to be outside in the fresh air, to stay active throughout the day, meet with our customers outside of our shops and be a friendly face in the local community.

It’s the job of our Drivers to deliver online shopping orders direct to our customers’ doors. Whether you like to help those who can’t get out easily themselves or perhaps interact with customers face to face, you’ll have the opportunity to do all of this while representing Waitrose & Partners on the road. When you’re not out and about you’ll be supporting your team back in store, still delivering the excellent customer service we’re known for and assisting with things like stock control and cashiering.

You’ll also need to have a good appreciation of health & safety throughout your working day, along with excellent and considerate driving skills – a driving assessment will be required as part of your application.
