The Warehouse Operative/Trainee Driver role
With being an integral part of our local logistics team, this role will work predominantly full-time within the local warehouse at Horsham but with hours given over to training to secure your LGV (class 2/C) licence (training costs fully funded by our company). Once you have your licence, you will also be expected to provide absence cover for the local driving team, undertaking daily multi-drop deliveries, as required. Your fellow team members are extremely self-motivated, enthusiastic and customer focused. We value a strong work ethic/flexibility.

You will ultimately be prepared to work predominantly full time within the warehouse, but when trained, equally happy to jump in a truck (sometimes at short notice) and undertake deliveries when our main driving team need covering. You will ideally already hold a forklift reach & counterbalance licence (training can be provided if not). As mentioned, in line with our team’s approach, you will also have a strong work-ethic with a flexible ‘can do’ attitude. Finally, as you will on occasion be acting as an ambassador for our business when making customer deliveries, it is vital that you have effective customer-facing skills.
The Package
We provide a competitive basic starting salary along with a performance/profit linked bonus scheme and a flexible employee benefits scheme that includes: 25 days annual leave (rising to 27 days with service plus all bank holidays), contributory pension & employee discount scheme. LGV training scheme to be fully funded by our business whereby basic salary will also be reviewed once LGV licence is secured.
