Weekend Delivery Driver - Purfleet

Love being on the move and interacting with people from all walks of life? Looking to save a little extra to fund your travels or that family holiday? 

Join Ocado Logistics as a weekend driver - where there are bags of possibilities.

It's our mission to provide an outstanding customer experience. Whilst others might call you delivery drivers, here at Ocado Logistics our Customer Service Team Members play a vital role, delivering top quality products on time with a smile.

You’ll be out on the road whatever the weather, but you’ll never have to fight over the radio station, and you can sing along as loud as you like! In return, we use our automated technology to pre-plan your route and pre-load your van so you can concentrate on delivering joy!

Your weekend role:

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our teams on a weekend-only basis, perfect for those seeking a consistent part-time schedule. You will work 2 x 8-hour shifts across Saturday and Sunday (Please note we are unable to hire anyone already working more than 3 days a week)

And you can enjoy the benefit of a Sunday premium on every shift you work!
