Job Description

Delivery days start early in Newcastle, and a container unpacking yard needs you on the bay before the trucks roll. Someone who likes a bit of variety, but also likes doing things the right way, will enjoy this.

You'll report in Newcastle. Relocation is not covered for this one.

The work, day to day

  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Ride with the driver and carry goods into customers' premises
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Assemble or place furniture where the customer asks
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit

You'll need

  • Friendly with customers at the door
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
  • No criminal record
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late

Helpful, not essential

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

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work, clear copy of your ID with a certification stamp plus police clearance if you already have one.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 8 working days.

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

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

  • Keep your CV to one page with your phone number big and clear. Depot managers phone, they seldom email.
  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
