The Ideal Candidate

As a Delivery Driver, you’ll need excellent communication skills, both verbal and written as you'll build strong relationships with our pharmacy teams and local customers who can’t get to our stores for their prescriptions or healthcare products. These are often some of the most vulnerable members of the community, and our home delivery service is vital to their wellbeing. Working closely with the Delivery Team Manager and our store teams, your local knowledge and a passion for delivering a great service will ensure that your valuable cargo gets to the right patient at the right time!

It is essential you have a Full UK Driving Licence and have the Right to Work in the UK. The ideal candidate will be able to drive a Luton Style vehicle, have good knowledge of the area and also have the flexibility to deliver the prescriptions to locations at varied timeslots.
