A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression – join BSS as a Warehouse Assistant/Driver and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.


Where Will You Be Working ?

BSS, a subsidiary of Travis Perkins Group, is looking for a talented Warehouse Assistant/Driver to join our Bournemouth branch based in Poole, BH12 4PA. The branch is already staffed with a team of 11 colleagues, operating 3 delivery vehicles (1 16T and 2 3.5T) while serving a large number of customers per day.


What Benefits Will You Receive?

Our Warehouse/Driver role offers:

  • Excellent salary + Annual bonus
  • 22 days holiday plus bank holidays
  • Save As You Earn & Buy As You Earn schemes
  • Group Life Assurance/Contributory pension scheme
  • Rewards & discounts with over 1,000 retailer offers
  • Colleague recognition awards, employee assistance programme, wagestream financial wellbeing app, and salary deducted loans.


What Will You Be Doing ?

There are two aspects to this role and your ability to adapt to each will demand flexibility and a can do attitude. Being a Warehouse Assistant/Driver takes a lot of character. It calls for someone who enjoys working with people and has the enthusiasm it takes to deliver more than just goods, but a fantastic service too. The role is varied with no two days being the same. One minute you will be unloading supplier deliveries, picking orders or serving customers on the trade counter, other days you will be loading your vehicle and delivering goods to a range of different places.


Does This Sound Like You ?

A positive attitude and professional manner is a must. You’ll also need a clean driving licence & ideally previous experience of multi drop deliveries. Whilst driving our vehicles you are the face of the business and the way in which you represent the company is just as important as the products you deliver.
