Home Delivery Driver – Stores Role
Working in our stores
Our stores are fast-paced environments where no two days are the same—and food is our passion. They are at the heart of the local community, providing outstanding value, quality, and service.
As one of our Home Delivery Drivers, you’ll be that special ingredient that makes our online customer experience a success. You deliver everything our customers order while driving with professionalism and care.
Eligibility
- You must be 18 or over
- Have held a full UK/EU driving licence for at least 12 months
- No more than 6 points on your licence
- Must be eligible to work in the UK (Right to Work)
You’ll take part in an online driving risk assessment as part of the interview and, if selected, a driving assessment before starting.
What you’ll be doing
- Deliver groceries doorstep-on-time in a 3.5-tonne van
- Ensure vehicles and cases are organised, secure, and clean
- Perform pre-drive safety checks before hitting the roads—adapting to highways, residential streets, rural lanes, and narrow pathways
- Provide exceptional service to customers—handling inquiries, substitutions, and updates on delays
- Build deep product knowledge to recommend quality options and promotions
- Contribute across the store during lulls—helping with operational tasks as needed
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
