Job Description

Immediate opportunities for full or part time delivery drivers servicing permanent routes in Cornwall out of the Roche depot. These roles are to support the ongoing growth and success of the DPD business working directly for King's Deliveries Ltd (service provider franchisee). The roles are permanent giving stability and the oppprtunity to earn well in excess of 33k pa. Our hardest working drivers will exceed 40k pa.
We are currently able to offer full-time or part time opportunities, the depot operates 7 days a week so we can accomodate pretty much any working pattern. No experience necessary although confidence in driving a 3.5tn van is essential.
As a delivery driver for King's Deliveries the role involves loading your van at the Roche depot and then heading out onto a route in Cornwall. Deliveries have to be completed with a planned hour and we also complete collections from both businesses and residential customers. On completion of your route you head back to the depot and check in all returned/collected parcels. We use an app to manage our routes and deliveries which will require the use of your own phone, data usage is minimal.
All backgrounds considered, hard work, safe driving, great customer service and the ability to self motivate are key requirements. A flexible approach to working hours is also key as finish times will vary depending upon delivery times, volumes and traffic!
A clean driving licence is preferable although not essential depending on category of points.
If you enjoy driving, hitting targets and giving fantastic customer service and want to be part of a successful, in demand, business then please apply. We have already built a strong, friendly team who work hard to get the job done but also have a laugh and enjoy being part of Kings Deliveries. If you would like to part of our growing team then please apply giving your reasons for wanting this role.
Van, fuel and uniform provided.
Previous drivers for DPD will be considered although this must be disclosed when applying.
Successful candidates will need to undertake a DBS check.

Weekends and bank holidays are part of our working week although you wont be expected to work them all, unless you want too!

We have a manager on site most mornings to assist with loading, queries, questions and any other general needs. This means you are not just left to find space and parcels and also gives a consistent point of contact/support.

Successful applicants will be invited on an unpaid 'taster' day in which you will go out on a route with an experienced member of the team and have the opportunity to ask questions and experience a 'day in the life' of a delivery driver - if we are happy with you, and you are happy with us!, we can get new drivers started pretty quickly once all required paperwork is provided. Full training is given and you will start by shadowing a couple of drivers and making sure you are happy with all processes before going out on a small route by yourself. Most drivers are happy to go solo after a couple of days and within a couple of weeks are up the required performance level of anywhere between 90-120 stops (average) depending on the route. This may sound daunting at first but we have a proven track record of taking drivers with no delivery experience to this level.
