We are expanding our driver team in Dartford and looking for passionate, customer-focused drivers to help us bring exceptional service to all of our customers.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working independently, has a strong sense of responsibility and someone who takes pride in delivering excellent customer service day in, day out.
At Albion, we believe work should support your life - not take it over. That's why we offer a generous 52 days off per year, made up of 30 days annual leave and 22 additional days off you can either enjoy or trade in for extra pay. The choice is yours.
As a key player in our delivery process, you will be the face of the company and responsible for not only delivering our customers’ orders in a polite and professional manner, but championing Albion by building strong relationships with chefs to ensure we are and remain their supplier of choice.
We aim to give the majority of our drivers their own route, or cluster of routes, which means you will get to know each and every one of your customers and build lasting relationships with them, becoming the trusted face of the business.
