We are looking for people with;
· A passion for customer service.
· High energy levels and reliable work ethic.
· Presentable and professional in your appearance.
· Honest and open in your approach to work relationships.
Van driving experience is not essential - our vans are the size of a medium people carrier. The most important aspect of this role is CUSTOMER SERVICE and SALES. If you are a ‘people person’ who loves developing strong working relationships with your customers, then this could be the job for you.
Typical daily tasks and responsibilities.
· Load the Van – all stock is itemised on a daily delivery note
· Merchandise the van to a planogram layout
· Carry out daily vehicle safety checks - nothing complicated, just are the headlights, indicators and tyres all okay!
· Drive the route – which may mean you will be driving on either A/B roads and/or Motorways. You will be out in all types of weather.
· Serving Customers – Each route typically has between 40 and 60 stops; some of these stops may be timed. Please consider that you will be driving the route and serving customers on your own
· Use of credit card terminals
· Ensure that the vehicle has sufficient fuel to complete each days journey - all our Feast Vans have fuel cards
· Return to depot
· Report any mechanical defects in line with company reporting procedures
· Unload stock and clean your van
· Replenish ambient stock ensuring you rotate the stock in line with expiry dates
· Complete relevant paperwork and count your daily cash and card sales takings
· Home at 3pm
What skills do you need to do this job?
· Customer service skills
· Good communication skills.
· Able to build relationships.
As a new starter Customer Service Van Sales Driver you will begin by shadowing your Sales Team Manager, learning how to drive the route, meeting your customers and seeing how we deliver an excellent standard of customer service. Once you are confident with the route and your customers you will then be able to manage the route on your own. This training period usually lasts 2-3 weeks.
This is a great job – it offers:
Super working hours for retail – Monday to Friday
Shift times are - 6.30am to 3pm
Never Weekends, Never Bank Holiday and we close for over a week at Xmas!
· Good rates of pay and the opportunity to earn more.
· Great Hours for retail – Monday to Friday, finishing every day at 3pm.
· 28 days holiday per year (including bank holidays and Xmas shut down)
