Job Description

You'll load and offload trucks at a parcel sorting hub in Prospecton so every delivery goes out full and correct. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

This post is Prospecton-based, with most of your time spent at a parcel sorting hub. Overtime comes up in peak season and is paid.

What your day looks like

  • Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
  • Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts
  • Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
  • Sweep the bay and clear shrink-wrap after each loading
  • Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop

Must-haves

  • Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
  • Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
  • No criminal record
  • Willing to travel on routes that return late
  • Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
  • Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips

Nice if you have

  • A Code 8 or Code 10 licence (a route to becoming a driver)
  • Speaking more than one local language for customer drops

What you get

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): CV noting any loading, moving or delivery work 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. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 8 working days.

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Say what hours you can start. Loading bays often hire the person who can be there at 04:00 without fail.
  • If you are learning to drive, mention it. Depots like to grow assistants into drivers.
