Maidstone, United Kingdom The Sofa Delivery Company Full time

**Overview**
Here at The Sofa Delivery Company, we know that a sofa is one of the most meaningful things someone can buy - which is why we’re on a mission to be the best two-person delivery company around.

We’re on the lookout for people who want to join our team of Installation Experts and gain your 7.5 tonne licence. We’ll fund your licence and everything that’s needed for it, whilst you work as part of our delivery teams to install furniture to our Sofology and DFS customers around the UK.

We’re big believers that a great job is not just something you have, it’s something you take pride in doing, and you’ll be working alongside team members who live for the challenge and variety this role brings. No day is the same with us, and that’s the joy.

**What will you be doing?**
Following a comprehensive induction plan to show you what you need to know as an Installation Expert, you’ll deliver moments that matter for our customers using a 3.5t van for the first 12 weeks of employment. During that time, we’ll also be getting you ready to take a driving test for your C1 driving licence. Whether it’s full training and instruction on how to drive or just a medical assessment, we’ll help and fund you to get what you need to drive a 7.5t vehicle. If you already have your C1 entitlement, we’ll give you the training to ensure you’re safe and legal on the road and we’ll get you going as soon as we can

This role isn’t just about driving and delivering - we give you ownership of the final customer moment, installing their furniture in their home in a way that gives them a great experience and meets our expert standards.

**What is the trainee driver scheme?**
You’ll be working towards your C1 licence whilst in our employment and we will fund all elements of your learning to be able to attain the license and you’ll be given time off-the-job to attend sessions during work time. This includes your Theory & Hazard Tests, your Driver Training and your CPC.

All we ask is that you already hold a UK Driving Licence, have no more than 3 points and do not have any drink or drug driving convictions.

Once you’ve complete all elements of the course, you’ll be promoted into a 7.5T Driver Role and become a fully-fledged member of our delivery team, and get a pay increase - it’s a win-win

To give you the confidence in your role as an Installation Expert, we’ll give you the tools, training and support to do the job well and safely. We also believe in giving you more time between shifts - to rest, recover, spend time with friends and family and do the things that matter most to you.

**This role is for you if**:

- You’ve got great people and time management skills
- You enjoy spending time with customers, responding to their questions and needs
- You’re comfortable installing furniture in customers’ homes - wherever that may be
- You take pride in your work and priorities safety - of yourself and those around you
- You like variety in your day and the occasional challenge
- You’ve got a dedicated work ethic and want to be recognised and rewarded for it
- You want to work in an environment where everyone is welcome and can have fun
- You’ve got the relevant licence to drive a car (B as a minimum) and have 2 years’ driving experience
- You have no more than 6 points and no DD, DR or DG coded endorsements

If this sounds like the role for you and you like to be a part of a team, then we’d love to hear from you.

**Benefits**
- A competitive basic salary with a quarterly bonus based on delivering outstanding customer service to our customers
- Fantastic 4 on 4 off Shift Pattern (please note the first 3 x weeks will be 5 day Mon
- Fri week in training)
- 30% colleague + 15% friends & family discount across the Group (DFS, dwell & Sofology)
- Group Pension Scheme
- Group Sharesave Scheme
- Free, on-site, physio sessions
- Access to a wide range of perks, including amazing retailer and days out discounts
- We offer colleagues a wide range of wellbeing support and services to help maintain a happy and healthy mind, body and life
- Life Assurance & Company Sick Pay
- Enhanced maternity, paternity and adoption leave
- The latest 7.5 Tonne vehicles (equipped with the most up-to-date demountable box systems)
