Multi-drop 3.5T Driver

Who we are and why work for Albion
Albion is a fast-growing food wholesaler supplying fresh, frozen and ambient produce to some of the finest chefs across London and the South East. We have a customer base of over 2,000 and a product range of over 4,000, and these numbers are only going to continue growing!
 
We’re heading for bigger and better things at our brand-new site at Crossways, Dartford. You’ll be able to enjoy a great work-life balance, competitive salary, subsidised café, employee discounts and plenty of opportunities to develop and learn.
 
We deliver 7 days a week, so drivers will be expected to offer weekend availability. Typically, this will include working 2/3 Saturdays, and 1/3 Sundays.
 
Work life balance is important to us here at Albion and we want you to spend more time at home with your family or doing the things you enjoy, so in addition to 30 days holiday you will also get an additional 22 days off a year worked into your rota - meaning you will work just 208 days in a year, but still earn a full-time salary. Sounds too good to be true doesn’t it, but it’s not!
 
Key details about the role
Hours: 40 hours per week, early starts – weekend availability required
Location: Dartford, DA2 6QB
Salary: Up to £27,199pa
