Furniture Delivery Driver & Fitter

Furniture Delivery Driver & Installer | UK wide travel | £32,000pa | Full-time (Early starts, early finishes and NO weekends)

What this role is really about: Our client needs a reliable delivery driver and furniture installer who takes pride in doing an excellent job from start to finish. It’s much more than dropping boxes at the door. This is a role where you genuinely make a difference to people’s lives. From meeting the staff on arrival, to unloading, assembling and transforming a resident’s room, you’ll be delivering not only high-quality bespoke furniture but a high standard of service too, leaving care homes and later living communities across the UK looking just perfect.

About our client: They design and hand-craft bespoke furniture and soft furnishings for care and later living settings. An established family business with a rich heritage experience in furniture and furnishings. They work with some of the UK’s best-known care providers, creating spaces that feel like home rather than an institution. Everything is made to order, and their reputation is built on speed, service and a personal touch. Their own delivery team is a big part of that, which is why this role matters to them.

The role: You’ll drive the company vehicle to sites across the UK, mainly private retirement complexes, as well as care homes. Once there, you’ll deliver, assemble and position high-quality furniture exactly where it needs to be. You’ll often be working in residents’ own homes and shared spaces, so a friendly, respectful and patient manner matters just as much as your driving and your skill with tools.

Key responsibilities:

• Driving the company vehicle safely to deliveries across the UK, planning routes so you arrive on time

• Loading and unloading carefully, making sure everything is secure and protected in transit

• Carrying items into buildings, including up stairs and through tight spaces

• Assembling furniture to a high standard and positioning it as the client requires

• Making minor adjustments or repairs on site where needed

• Treating every site, resident and member of staff with care, courtesy and discretion

• Completing delivery paperwork and getting client sign-off

• Reporting any damage, issues or customer feedback back to the office promptly

• Removing packaging and leaving every area clean and tidy

• Carrying out daily vehicle checks and keeping the vehicle clean and roadworthy

• Following health and safety procedures, including safe manual handling

Who we think will thrive here: You might currently be a delivery driver, a two-person crew member, a furniture fitter or an installer. Joinery or carpentry experience is a real bonus. But what is more important than the job title, is that you take pride in a quality finish and are kind and patient around the clients.
