Delivery Assistant (Furniture Trucks)

You'll load and offload trucks at a furniture retailer warehouse in Epping so every delivery goes out full and correct. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Hours are mostly Monday to Friday, with the odd Saturday in busy months.

The work, day to day

• Strap and secure loads so nothing shifts in transit
• Get proof-of-delivery notes signed and stamped at each drop
• Offload containers by hand, counting cartons as they come off
• Guide trucks reversing into the bay with hand signals
• Check goods received against the delivery note and flag shorts

What you need

• Grade 9 or higher and able to read a delivery note
• Honest; you will be handling customer goods and cash-on-delivery slips
• Comfortable starting from 04:00 or working late loading shifts
• Able to lift and carry heavy items all day
• Willing to travel on routes that return late

Helpful, not essential

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

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

Before you hit apply

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