About the role
Van Multi-Drop Delivery Driver
Location: Bidfood Paddock Wood
Salary: £34,345.21 per year
Licence Required: Full UK Category B driving licence
Looking for more than just a driving job?
We’re looking for reliable, customer-focused Van Drivers to join our team at Bidfood Paddock Wood.
This is a permanent role with a strong salary, an established business behind you and plenty of variety in your working day.
You’ll be out on the road delivering to our customers across the South East, representing Bidfood and making sure they receive the products they need, when they need them.
If you enjoy driving, like dealing with people and prefer an active job where the day moves quickly, this could be a great fit.
What you’ll be doing
As a Bidfood Multi-Drop Van Driver, you’ll deliver ambient, chilled and frozen food and catering products to a wide range of customers.
Your day will include:
- Driving a Bidfood van on a planned multi-drop delivery route
- Delivering to restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools and other customers
- Loading, moving and unloading products safely
- Providing a friendly and professional service at every delivery
- Getting to know customers on your regular routes
- Completing deliveries accurately and efficiently
- Carrying out daily vehicle checks and reporting any defects
- Working closely with our Transport and Warehouse teams
- Following all company, road safety and legal requirements
What we’re looking for
You’ll need:
- A full UK Category B driving licence
- A safe and responsible approach to driving
- Good communication and customer service skills
- Reliability and a positive attitude
- The ability to work independently while still being part of a wider team
- To be comfortable with a physically active role involving regular lifting and unloading
Previous multi-drop or delivery experience is useful, but it isn’t essential. We’re just as interested in people with the right attitude, a strong work ethic and a genuine focus on looking after customers.
A job that keeps you moving
This isn’t a role where you spend all day sitting behind the wheel.
You’ll be getting in and out of the vehicle, moving products and delivering directly into customer premises throughout your shift. It’s physically demanding, but it also means the day moves quickly and no two routes are quite the same.
A package that gives something back
Alongside a salary of £34,345.21 per year, you’ll receive a range of benefits designed to support you both in and outside work.
The essentials
- 33 days’ holiday, including bank holidays
- Company pension - contribute 4% and we’ll match it, increasing to matching contributions up to 6% after your first year
- Life cover, with the option to increase it
- Confidential support and counselling when you need it
- Health plan providing money back towards everyday medical costs for you and your family
- Access to a digital GP
The extras
- Exclusive discounts across cinema, technology, travel, fashion, food and drink
- Access to up to 20% of your earned pay before payday
Why join Bidfood Paddock Wood?
Our drivers are one of the most important parts of our operation. You’re not simply moving products from A to B - you’re the person our customers see, speak to and rely on.
You’ll join a supportive team within one of the UK’s leading foodservice businesses, with secure employment, a competitive salary and the opportunity to build a long-term career with us.
