Company & Site Information
Made in Stoke-on-Trent. Moulded by you.
Become a Customer Service Team Member with Ocado Logistics. For generations, people in Stoke-on-Trent have built a reputation for doing things properly. We're bringing that same spirit to our brand-new Ocado Logistics site, offering stable work, planned shifts, supportive teams, and opportunities to build a long-term career.
Role Overview
As a Customer Service Team Member (what we call our Customer Delivery Drivers), you'll be one of the people local customers rely on. From weekly shops and family dinners to those last-minute essentials, you'll help keep homes across the community moving.
You'll take to the road in one of our delivery vans, follow a pre-planned route, and deliver each order with a smile. Our technology takes care of the route planning, and your van will be loaded ready for you, so you can focus on driving safely, providing great service, and doing the job well.
Start of Stoke Journey
If you join us between 12th October 2026 and 2nd November 2026, you'll complete your training and initial deliveries from one of our two already established sites, either Dordon & Nottingham. From 9th November 2026, all training and deliveries will move to our brand-new Stoke-on-Trent site.
We know that the temporary change of location may mean additional travel, so Ocado Logistics will cover any extra travel costs during the transition and we'll give you an hour at the start and end of your shifts during training as travel time. That means you can focus on learning the role, building your confidence, and getting ready for your move to Stoke without being left out of pocket.
Compensation and Benefits
You'll be paid £13.66 per hour, with the opportunity to earn overtime at time and a quarter. Your breaks are paid too. You'll also receive a range of benefits that you can shape around your life, including:
- A company pension with matched contributions of up to 7%, available after three months with us
- An enhanced digital health and wellbeing service, including virtual GP appointments for you and your dependants
- Hundreds of discounts across high-street shops, restaurants, and entertainment
- Life insurance cover from your first day of employment
- 15% off your weekly shop with Ocado.com
- Optional benefits, including dental and travel insurance, available at discounted rates
Candidate Requirements
No previous delivery experience is needed. Our training team will equip you with the knowledge, skills, and support to succeed.
This role is active and physical. You could deliver up to a tonne of shopping weekly, carrying orders from your van to customers' doors, including flats and properties with stairs. Independence, reliability, strong communication skills, and a friendly approach are essential as you'll be working largely alone.
Shifts can start as early as 5:30am and finish as late as midnight, requiring reliable travel to and from the Stoke site.
- A full UK or EU driving licence
- At least twelve months' driving experience
- No more than six penalty points on your licence
- No driving disqualifications within the past five years
- Be aged 18 or over, as some deliveries include alcohol products
Application Process
Our application process is straightforward and no CV is required:
- Complete our short online application
- Our recruitment team will contact you to complete an online driving licence check and Right to Work checks
- You will be invited to learn more about the role, including a site tour at your chosen training location
- We'll complete a DBS check
- Once all the required checks are completed, we'll confirm your offer and help you prepare for your first day
Role Details
- Contract type: Permanent
- Hours: 37.5 hours per week, including paid breaks
- Working days: Any five days out of seven, with rota provided up to 13 weeks in advance
- Shift length: 7.5-hour shifts, including paid breaks
