Your duties will include:

Typical start times are:
5:30am or 12:00-2pm

What We're Looking For
To be considered, you'll need:
* A full UK driving licence
* To be aged 21 or over due to insurance requirements
* Confidence driving a 3.5T vehicle
* To be physically fit and comfortable with heavy lifting
* Good customer service and communication skills
* A reliable and punctual approach to work
* To be comfortable entering customers' homes to complete deliveries
* The ability to work effectively as part of a two-person team
Previous experience in multi-drop delivery, furniture delivery, removals or similar work would be beneficial, but isn't essential for the right candidate.
