Great place to work with guaranteed hours. What more could you want?
This role will be based at the new Exeter Stockless Local Fulfilment Centre, Exeter Logistics Park DC9, Werstan Road, Exeter, EX5 2GB which opens on October 1st 2024.
Onboarding and training will be completed within the Argos Exeter Stone Lane store or Argos Tiverton store from hire date until September 30th 2024.
Shift pattern is 5 days out of 7 with some weekend work required. Early shift 05:00-13:00; Late shift 13:00-22:00
How about a focus on quality, not quantity? The sign of success when delivering for Argos is satisfied customers, so we focus on delivering responsibly, as well as on time and with a smile. It makes for a more personal, friendly experience for our drivers.
It’s an exciting time in Argos, as a brand within Sainsburys. We’re opening new Argos Local Fulfilment Centres (LFCs) nationwide, offering a better, quicker choice to our customers. That means full-time, part-time and flexible hours plus overtime if you want it in a job which could really work around you.
What you’ll do
You’ll be unloading inbound deliveries, sorting and scanning the items, then loading your own van to deliver a set number of drops in a shift with an ePod to guide you. You will need to drive safely and follow our guidelines of course. That said, you’ll put the customer first and deliver smiles as well as packages. We’ll only be a phone call away if you need us while you’re out on the road, and our route guidance will always plan to get you back to site within your shift times.
What you’ll need
For insurance purposes, you have to be over 18 and have held a full UK/EU driving licence for at least 12 months and with no more than 6 points on it.
What’s in it for you?
You’ll really benefit from the supportive, family feel and a helpful management team. What’s more, as you’ll be part of a Sainsbury’s-owned multi-brand retailer, there are many ways you could develop your career across different parts of the business.
You’ll also enjoy discount across all three brands, free onsite parking in most of our sites, and free tea and coffee on site. Plus you’ll get to drive a modern Sprinter van for your shifts, with insurance and fuel covered.
Alongside this, we also offer a great range of benefits for all our colleagues, including:
- After you've worked with us for more than 4 weeks, we'll send you two colleague discount cards – one for yourself and one for a second user who lives permanently at the same address as you.
- Your discount card gives you 10% discount off on your shopping at Sainsbury’s, Argos, Tu and Habitat. This increases to 15% discount off at Sainsbury’s every Friday and Saturday and 15% off at Argos every pay day.
- Food and hot drinks is provided in colleague areas in all our Local Fulfilment Centres
- Generous holiday entitlement, maternity and paternity leave.
- Pension – we’ll match 4-7% of your pension contributions.
- Sainsbury’s share scheme – build up an investment at discounted rates
- Wellbeing support – access to emotional support, counselling, legal and financial advice
- Colleague networks – link with like-minded people to help fulfil your potential.
- Our Cycle to Work scheme gives you the opportunity to hire a new bike and cycling equipment, whilst saving on tax and NI.
- Special offers on gym memberships, restaurants, holidays, retail vouchers and more.
