• drive safely, obeying the rules of the road and following the correct Co-op procedures 
• positively represent Co-op on the road, treating other road users and pedestrians with respect 
• support our shunting operations, moving both rigids and trailers around the yard – training will be provided 

This role would suit people who have 

• a C+E category (Class 1) LGV drivers’ licence 
• previous experience as an LGV/HGV driver 
• the ability to work positively with Co-op customers and colleagues 
• great organisation and time management skills

• great holiday allowance (rising in line with service) 
• discounts on Co-op products and services 
• a pension with up to 10% employer contributions 

Building an inclusive work environment 

We’re actively building diverse teams and we welcome applications from everyone. We want to build an inclusive environment, where everyone can contribute their best work and develop to their full potential.  

As an LGV driver at Co-op you’ll get a manager who listens to you, and works with you to protect your wellbeing. You’ll also be part of a depot team that works together to celebrate difference, and gives colleagues a say on the day to day things that affect them at work.
