We are looking for a part-time driver, working 4 days per week, to join our Wholesale Distribution team. 

Based out of our Maturing arches in Bermondsey, London, you will spend most of your time on the road, driving one of our fleet of Mercedes Sprinter vans delivering to our wholesale customers in London and further afield, as well as collecting cheese from farms around the country. 

Working hours are 4am to 1pm or 5am to 2pm Tuesday – Friday depending which route you are on.

This role will be physically demanding with heavy lifting required as there’s lots of cheese to load, unload and deliver. The role also includes up to an hour of packing and helping to finish the overnight orders for delivery each morning.    

We pride ourselves not only on the excellent produce we sell but the service that goes with it.  So, attention to detail and good communication between you and the office-based wholesale team is crucial.
