Your new role
Ready to kickstart your driving career? Join us as a Trainee Driver at The Sofa Delivery Company, where you'll embark on our in‑house Driving School programme! During your first 12 weeks, you'll drive a 3.5‑ton van while we prepare you to upgrade to your 7.5‑ton driving licence. We cover the costs of training, medical assessments and provide time off for theory & hazard tests and driver training. Once you complete your training and pass the necessary tests, you'll be promoted to a 7.5T Driver role, with a matching pay increase. With our 4‑on, 4‑off shift pattern (7 am–7 pm), you’ll enjoy plenty of downtime to relax, recharge and enjoy life outside of work.
What you'll be doing
- Delivering furniture safely and professionally to customers’ homes.
- Keeping customers informed with pre‑delivery communication, so they know exactly when to expect you.
- Ensuring furniture is delivered to the desired room and leaving no rubbish behind.
- Working alongside your team and senior managers to provide feedback and improve service standards.
- Representing The Sofa Delivery Company values and those of our brand partners in everything you do.
- Complying with all driving laws as defined by the government and all company policies and procedures.
Requirements
- A valid UK driving licence with 6 points or fewer.
- At least 2 years of driving experience, with no drink or drug driving convictions.
- A positive attitude and willingness to learn.
