Shifts: Most of our roles work in two shift blocks during the day:

**What you’ll do**
Here’s a chance to join us in a brand-new team as we strive for greater heights for our customers. From our Local Fulfilment Centres, we aim to give our customers more choice with same day delivery 7 days a week, so this really puts the customer at the heartof our Fast-Track network.
As a Fast-Track Driver, you’ll be:
loading your own van (with help from our helpful warehouse team) so you know where everything is
delivering up to 25 drops per shift in a set area, with a handy e-Pod guiding you on your journey

It is so much more than just driving; you will be the person delivering smiles right to our customers doors, ready for that special occasion.

What you’ll get
Whilst we operate from fulfilment centres, they’re just the right size to hold all our exciting product range, yet small enough for you to feel part of a great team. There will always be a member of our management team to brief and debrief you, and we’re onlyever a phone call away when you’re out on the road. We care about our people, and so we limit the number of drops to a reasonable number and offer welcoming facilities when you get back from a day’s driving.
It’s also nice to know that, as part of the Sainsbury’s group, the career possibilities here are unparalleled, meaning that we can help you to drive your development in line with your own aspirations.
In addition to a competitive salary and an exciting working environment, other benefits include:
22 days of paid holiday
company pension scheme
10% discount at Sainsbury’s, Argos, and Habitat (after 12 weeks) and lots more things you’ll love

Free on-site parking
Free tea & coffee on-site
Uniform is provided
A new Sprinter van to drive on every shift - we take care of insurance and fuel

We wrote the book (OK, the catalogue) on online shopping and we’ve been the go-to place for anything from toys and technology to must have homeware and seasonal trends for decades. It’s why we’re one of the top three most visited e-commerce websites in thecountry, offering same day delivery, 7 days a week, through our Fast Track network. Game-changing? You bet.
