Why You'll Love It:

- Friendly, welcoming environment - Opportunity to meet new people and support your local community - Travel expenses paid - PPE provided - Training opportunities - Reference available after 3 months commitment

What You'll Learn:

You'll have the opportunity to gain: - Multi-drop delivery experience - Warehousing experience (and qualifications) - Forklift training - Training in Manual Handling; Health & Safety; Food Safety & Hygiene - Access to our Employability and Health & Well-being programme

What We're Looking For:

We are looking for anyone who can spare a few hours a week and can say 'Yes' to the following: - Good at map reading and able to use a Sat Nav system - Able to perform physical tasks including lifting and loading - Positive, friendly and personable, able to interact well with different people - Adaptable – managing surplus can be unpredictable so day to day tasks can vary
