Chefs Oils specialises in the collection and recycling of waste vegetable cooking oils from food businesses such as restaurants, hotels, cafes and takeaways. Our main customer base is around the areas of Liverpool, Merseyside and Lancashire, although we do have customers around the wider North West area and also Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
We're currently looking for one experienced van driver to start immediately, joining our small team. Full training will be provided.
Usual working hours are Monday to Friday from 9am - 6pm, 42.5 paid hours per week after a 30 minute per day lunch break.
Please note, one night out per week will likely be required with regards to facilitating the service of our customers in Yorkshire and surrounding areas. Hotel and food will be provided and paid for by our company.
Reliable and punctual, you will be driving a large Luton type box van, and will be responsible for carrying out daily collections from our valued regular customers. We also deliver new cooking oils to our customer so some deliveries would be part of the role also.
You would generally have just 15-20 jobs per day to complete. You would do this in a safe and careful manner, taking care not to spill any oil at any time. Whilst getting around the job number for the day is important, our approach is one of quality of service rather than quantity. We are looking for calm, safe and careful drivers who will treat the company vans with care and respect at all times.
Good numeracy and literacy skills, and also attention to detail are a must, as you will be required to complete a collection / delivery form for each job using our custom mobile application (device provided). This is the main communication tool for two way messaging between our driving and office staff.
This is a customer facing role, and the successful applicant will not only have a good attitude to customer service, always carrying our their duties in a polite, helpful and friendly manner, but will also have care for their appearance, keeping clean and smart at all times.
Please be aware that although a hand trolley and tail lift on the van is provided, this can be a very physically demanding job at times as it involves alot of heavy lifting, rolling, and moving of oil barrels. Company van will need to be collected from and returned to our depot daily which is located in Bickerstaffe, Ormskirk, L39. Depot staff will usually unload, reload and wash van when necessary. (Please note that you will need your own transport as there is no public transport local to the depot)
We're a small, family run, yet very ambitious and professional company and we are looking for the right personality who can fit in well to our small team. A person who cares about helping us to drive the business forward and become a key and valued member of the team for many years.
In return, we offer a competitive salary, sociable working hours, 28 days holiday (5.6 weeks), workplace pension, full uniform, added benefits with length of service, potential of promotion, and a happy, friendly working environment. Career progression within the company and extra skills training will also be available for the right person.
Please note, that although this is a permanent position, there will be a 3 month probation period to ensure that the right person is joining our team.
It is preferable that applicants have previous multi-drop or driving experience, especially with a large Luton type van or something similar. A sat nav is provided to assist in locating our customers. However, you will need to have a full UK driving license with no more than 3 points, and not have any DR10 or IN10 (or equivalent) license offence codes.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds.
Please read the above carefully, and only apply if you are capable of fulfilling the roles and responsibilities as detailed above, and also only if you have a good attitude to work and are looking for a serious, long term position. Strictly no agencies please.
