Description
As a Customer Delivery Driver at Sainsbury's Supermarkets Ltd in Taunton, Somerset, you will play a crucial role in delivering customer orders directly to their doorsteps. You will be the face of Sainsbury's, providing a thoughtful, friendly, and helpful delivery service.
The role involves driving a 3.5 tonne refrigerated van to deliver groceries to customers on time and in great condition. You will be responsible for completing checks to ensure the van is roadworthy, clean, and organised, and that customers' shopping is secure before setting off. You will also need to follow planned routes and drive safely in a variety of locations, traffic, weather, and road conditions.
In addition to making deliveries, you may be required to help across the store as needed. You will need to communicate effectively with customers, keeping them informed of any delays, dealing with customer queries, and any changes to their order.
To be successful in this role, you will need to be comfortable driving a larger vehicle safely in different locations, from busy residential streets and city centres to narrow country lanes. You will also need to be comfortable working in a fast-paced, physical and high-energy environment, including repeatedly moving shopping containers weighing up to 15kg.
