Class 2 Delivery Driver in Banbury

At Warburtons, family is at the heart of our business. Five generations' worth of expertise that goes into making our bakery products allows us to continue a tradition of baking inherited over the past 141 years. Warburtons is the largest bakery brand in the UK, but that doesn't allow us to rest on our laurels. We are pioneers of the industry and ambitious market leaders, always seeking to challenge ourselves and convention.

It is part of our philosophy to provide honest good sense on issues of health and well-being, helping the whole family to enjoy our products as part of a healthy, balanced diet, through a range of products to suit all meal occasions, lifestyles and tastes.

Essential Ingredients:

• Full UK Driving Licence with Class C entitlement
• Digital Tacho Card
• Full CPC

As the UK's No. 1 Bakery Brand we have been baking bread since 1876. Today, we are proudly a sixth-generation family business, supplying over 18,000 retail customers from 11 bakeries and 16 depots, producing a range of over 70 products, including gluten and wheat free. We are striving to be a net zero business by 2050 and believe that we must minimise our impact on the environment, whilst making a positive impact on the society we are a part of.

The Recipe:

• You will be supported with a 6-week induction, support from in-house driver training teams.
• Your shift will generally start at around 3.30am (although some patterns vary), so it's an early start, but on the flip side, your afternoons will be your own.
• You will also enjoy plenty of autonomy.
• As a driver you'll be given delivery notes (or an electronic device), from which you'll accurately pick the orders (either prior to leaving or out on your route) and load your vehicle with bakery products.
• Your knowledge of basic vehicle maintenance mechanical knowledge (in order to be able to relay faults on defect forms) and transport legislation will be key, for example Driver Hours, working time directive and the Highway Code for a smooth and safe day.
• Your route for the day will then be loaded into your onboard computer and you're off!
• Our drivers deliver to multiple customers each day, so we need you to provide a quality service, that develops strong relationships, exceeds their expectations and on occasion, be able to manage difficult conversations in a calm and professional manner.
• You will work a defined rotating 5 days a week pattern including weekends.

At Warburtons, you are more than a driver! You load your own vehicle, so you can find everything a little bit easier and you'll be in charge of making sure the orders for your customers are correct as you pick accurately and in full from your delivery notes or electronic device.
