HGV Driver – Trainee Member
Wembley, London
About Us
Here at Suma, we’ve been doing things a bit differently for over 40 years, not only in our mission to supply everything vegetarian, ethical and sustainable, but also in how we run our successful business.
Suma is a worker co-operative; a business owned and run by nearly 200 members who work here. We’re a group of ordinary people who have built a business on principles of integrity and equality. Suma workers work together collectively to set the direction of the business - there are no shareholders and no traditional ‘bosses’. Everyone at Suma gets paid the same wage, takes personal and equal responsibility and does a range of different jobs each week.
We are currently looking for an HGV Driver to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis.
The Benefits
- Salary of £35,859 (£17.24 per hour)
- Generous holiday entitlement and pension (10.6% contributions when a member)
- Profit share bonus
- Staff discount on our stock
- Overtime can be taken as pay or time off in lieu
- Access to occupational sick pay
- Expenses for meals and time away from home
- Staff car park
- An equal say in the running of our business
