We're looking for a transport support assistant to join our team in the Biggleswade depot. 

Working in a close-knit team, you'll help support and make sure that our deliveries to stores run perfectly, so our customers and members can always get their hands on the products they love most. If you can bring the administrative skills and attention to detail we're looking for, we can offer you a great opportunity with a business that puts people at the heart of its strategy.

 


What you'll do:
  • organise and produce paperwork, including collection information, delivery notes and store information
  • confirm dispatch routes, making sure drivers can easily navigate their way to stores
  • arrange driver cover for absences
  • double check roadwork issues that could prevent delivery
  • co-ordinate vehicles so that they're assigned a docking station and stock can be loaded on time
  • hand over cab keys and paperwork to docking base staff
  • responsible for compliance including licence check and agency worker regulations


This role would suit someone who has:
  • strong administration skills
  • experience using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel etc)
  • great organisation skills 
  • attention to detail and can easily spot gaps, errors and mistakes
  • a clear passion for work and a keen eye for continuous improvement
  • experience from a logistics background, but this isn't essential


At Co-op you'll do work that matters, and you'll be rewarded for your hard work with a competitive salary (including additional shift allowances) and a benefits package which includes holidays starting from 30 days per year (including bank holidays), 30% off Co-op branded products in our food stores, a pension with up to 10% employer contributions, plus:
  • Wagestream – a money management app that gives you access to a percentage of your pay as you earn it
  • Free employee assistance programme with extensive health, financial and wellbeing support
  • Access to credit unions for loans and savings, plus rental deposit loans and season ticket loans
  • Free eye tests every 2 years
  • On-site facilities including a subsidised canteen and free parking


At Co-op, we're owned by our members. And because we're owned by you, we can do right by you. So when you join us, you're not just taking a job, you're joining a movement. We're an organisation that puts people and communities first, and we're powered by purpose.

We're building diverse and inclusive teams that reflect the communities we serve.

We welcome applications from everyone and are committed to creating a workplace where colleagues can feel like they belong, supported by our inclusive policies and the ways we work.

We're proud to be part of the Disability Confident scheme and offer interviews to disabled candidates who meet the minimum criteria for a job. If you need any adjustments during the recruitment process, we'll support you.

Learn more about our recruitment process at Your Co-op Application Journey and our inclusion commitments at Diversity and inclusion at Co-op

 



As part of the application process for this job, you'll need to complete an online assessment. It will take around 10 minutes to complete the test.

We reserve the right to remove a vacancy before the scheduled closing date.
