To be successful in this role, you will need:

• To be friendly and welcoming, with a genuine enthusiasm for helping customers and taking pride in providing the best doorstep experience
• To be comfortable driving a larger vehicle safely in different locations, from busy residential streets and city centres to narrow country lanes

• To be able to use initiative, solve problems, and make safe decisions while out on the road
• To enjoy both working independently and thriving as part of the wider store team
• To be flexible and willing to work across the store and take on new challenges
• To be open to learning, developing, and trying new things to improve the service
• To be confident in learning to use route and delivery technology
