Warehouse Assistant / Driver
A busy and fast paced business with great benefits, and plenty of opportunities for career progression – join BSS as a Driver/Warehouse Assistant and share our success and good times with a hard-working, friendly bunch of people.
The role
Come and join our Leeds team delivering a great service to our customers.
There are two aspects to this role and your ability to adapt to each will demand flexibility and a can do attitude. Being a Driver/Warehouse Assistant 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 loading your vehicle and delivering goods to a range of different places, other days you will be unloading supplier deliveries, picking orders or serving customers on the trade counter.
The person
You’ll need a clean driving licence. Whilst driving our vehicles you are the face of the business/branch and the way in which you represent the company is just as important as the products you deliver. A positive attitude and professional manner is a must. A confident customer focused demeanour is essential as is the passion to deliver a great service with your team colleagues every day. Ideally you will have multi drop driving experience, have warehouse experience or have a background in face to face customer service. But above all you will be personable, have a desire to learn and have a motivated work ethic.
The benefits
22 days annual leave plus bank holiday (extra day at milestone anniversaries)
Annual salary reviews
Opportunity to earn a branch/performance based bonus
Contributory pension scheme
Life Assurance and ShareSave scheme
Colleague discounts across a variety of Group businesses including special discounts of 20% in Tool Station and Tool Hire
HUNDREDS of discounts with a wide range of partners - food shopping, holidays, eating out, cinema, retail and so much more
