Job Description

Strong back, sharp eyes on the load sheet: that is what a cement and brick yard in Worcester wants. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll be based at a cement and brick yard in Worcester. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

What you'll actually do

  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Stack returns and empties neatly for the next count
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading

Must-haves

  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • No criminal record

Extra points for

  • Basic furniture assembly skills
  • Past work as a driver's assistant
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

What's in it for you

  • Meal allowance on long-route days
  • Help to get your own licence through the company later
  • Uniform and safety shoes provided
  • Route-completion incentives in busy months

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp, police clearance if you already have one plus CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 8 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Worcester.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
