About the role
A job where you are in the driving seat!
As the face of One Stop out on the road, our HGV drivers get the opportunity to meet and talk to different colleagues at stores. That’s why this role is about much more than just driving: it's about helping others and delivering great service, with a smile.
No two shifts are ever the same, for most of the day you’ll feel like your own boss, out on the road delivering to our stores, but there is always a team of managers and colleagues back at the distribution centre ready to support you when you need them.
You’ll meet great people, learn new things and be part of a specialist, diverse team, where everyone is welcome.
Whether you are looking for stability or flexibility to suit your lifestyle, or the opportunity to progress your career, this can be the role for you.

Flexible Working
We know life looks a little different for each of us. That’s why at One Stop, we always welcome chats about flexible working. Some people are at the start of their careers, some want the freedom to do the things they love. Others are going through life-changing moments like becoming a carer, nearing retirement, adapting to parenthood, or something else. So, talk to us throughout your application about how we can support.
Community Involvement
As a convenience retailer, it’s really important to us that our stores and colleagues are truly embedded within the communities that we serve. Whether that’s fundraising for local charities and groups or for our charity partners – supporting those in need is at the heart of all we do .
At One Stop, we’re so proud to have raised over £10.4million in the last 10 years! Not only this, we also work incredibly hard to tackle food waste by partnering with FareShare and Olio. Since 2015 our stores have donated an amazing 1.6 million equivalent food bank meals for our communities.
Working at One Stop will allow you to get involved in supporting charities within your community and those that are close to your heart – and our colleagues have had a go at everything! From climbing mountains, to running marathons in Spain to simply organising a raffle, we’re up for anything!

Everyone is welcome at One Stop and we're proud to be an inclusive workplace that celebrates the cultures, personalities and preferences of all of our colleagues. It’s a place where everyone is treated fairly and with respect. Diversity and inclusion are at the heart of our values.
One of the most important things is making sure all our colleagues feel welcome at One Stop and our colleague networks do a fantastic job at communicating that. They provide a safe space for our colleagues to share their thoughts and experiences, raising awareness for important issues and representing our diverse workforce. Our Colleague Networks are Armed Forces, Disability, LGBTQ+, Families and Carers, Race and Ethnicity and Women’s.
We're proud to be a Disability Confident Committed employer. We put this into practice by ensuring against discrimination and providing support to those who may need it.
