You'll work on a shift pattern that covers both early mornings (could be as early as 05:30), late evening shifts (could be finished as late as midnight) and weekends. Each day you work you'll be glad to hear that your van will be pre-loaded for you along with a pre-loaded route before delivering our customers' orders.

Each crate currently weighing upto 18kg (equivalent to carrying 9 x 2L bottles of water) and these will need to be delivered to each customer. As part of your role, you'll be delivering shopping into people's homes which can be up or down numerous flights of stairs. If there is no lift, we still guarantee the same service. In return we'll offer you perks such as 15% discount online shopping at Ocado, up to 15% with Vodafone, 40% off at selected cinemas and many more.
