Job Introduction

At The Sofa Delivery Company, we know that a sofa is one of the most meaningful things someone can buy. That's why we're on a mission to be the best two-person delivery company around, delivering great experiences to our customers that count. As part of the DFS group, we deliver for our group brands - DFS and Sofology.

Our colleagues are given the tools, training and support to make moments matter. We recognise and reward our people for going the extra mile, for our customers and each other. Whether you're in the warehouse, out on the road, or in a customer's home, at The Sofa Delivery Company, you'll deliver moments that matter.

Your new role

Don't worry if you're new to driving a 7.5-ton vehicle - we'll guide you through the entire process. From covering the costs of your training and medical assessments to offering time off for your Theory & Hazard tests and Driver Training, we've got you covered.

Once you've completed your training and passed the necessary tests, you'll be promoted to a 7.5T Driver role, with a pay increase to match! It's a win-win, and we'll have you delivering with confidence in no time! With our 4-on, 4-off shift pattern, 7am - 7pm, you'll have plenty of time to relax, recharge, and enjoy life outside of work.

What you'll be doing

Delivering furniture safely and professionally to customers' homes.

Keeping customers in the loop with pre-delivery communication, so they know exactly when to expect you.

Ensuring that furniture is delivered to the room of choice and leaving no rubbish behind.

Working alongside your team and senior managers to provide feedback and improve service standards.

Represent The Sofa Delivery Company values and those of our brand partners in everything that you do.

Comply with all driving laws as defined by the government and all company policies and procedures.

The role is for you if

You've got great communication and time management skills.

You enjoy engaging with customers and helping meet their needs.

You're comfortable delivering and installing furniture - wherever that may be.

You take pride in your work and focus on safety - both for yourself and others.

You thrive in a role with plenty of variety and occasional challenges.

You're dedicated, with a strong work ethic and a desire to be recognised.

You enjoy being part of a fun, welcoming team.

You're happy to lift heavy furniture when needed.

Requirements:

A valid UK driving licence with 6 points or fewer.

At least 2 years of driving experience, with no drink/drug driving convictions.

A positive attitude and willingness to learn!
