Working in our stores:

Our stores are fast paced environments where no two days are ever the same and food is our passion. They are at the heart of the local community providing outstanding value, quality and great service. As one of our Home Delivery Drivers, you'll be one of the special ingredients that delivers everything our online customers shop for at Sainsbury's.

Requirements:

• You must be over 18 and have held a full UK/EU driving licence for at least 12 months with no more than 6 points on it
• You will complete an online driving risk assessment as part of your interview and, if you're successful, there'll be a driving assessment when you join us
• You must have Right to Work eligibility in the UK

What you'll be doing:

• Driving a 3.5 tonne van to deliver groceries to customers' doorsteps, on time and in a great condition
• Completing checks to ensure the van is organised, clean and roadworthy, and that delivery cases are secure before getting out onto the road to drive safely in a variety of locations and conditions
• Serving customers brilliantly, supporting with any questions and substitutions, and keeping them aware of any delays
• Building great knowledge about our products, services and promotions to help provide recommendations
• When not out making deliveries, you will be helping across the store as needed

What makes a great Sainsbury's colleague:

• Friendly and welcoming with genuine enthusiasm for helping customers and providing the best doorstep experience
• Proficient at driving a large vehicle in a range of locations, from busy residential streets to narrow country lanes, and delivering to a variety of residential properties
• Happy working in a fast paced, physical and high energy environment, using initiative to solve problems - often on your own but also thriving as part of a team
• Always ready to work flexibly and productively to a high standard across the store when needed - fully trained in a variety of skills, providing opportunities to learn, develop and try new things
• Comfortable learning to use new digital tools and technology to do your job brilliantly, and moving shopping containers up to 15 kg

Working for us has great rewards:

• Discount card - 10 % off at Sainsbury's, Argos, Tu and Habitat after four weeks, increasing to 15 % discount at Sainsbury's every Friday and Saturday, and 15 % off at Argos every pay day
• Free food and hot drinks - provided for colleagues in all our stores
• Generous holiday entitlement - based on hours worked, plus maternity and paternity leave
• Pension - we'll match between 4 - 7.5 % of your pension contributions
• Sainsbury's share schemes - buy Sainsbury's shares at discounted prices
• Shopping discounts - special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more
• Wellbeing support - including free access to our Employee Assistance Programme, a confidential service providing support and guidance on a wide range of issues
