About the Role

We are seeking a reliable and motivated Van Driver with Warehouse Duties to join our busy distribution team in Maidstone.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys a hands-on role combining driving and warehouse work within a supportive and fast-paced environment.

Your week will be split between time in the warehouse and time on the road, ensuring customers receive their car parts accurately and on time. Flexibility is key, as shifts rotate between early and day starts.

Represent the company professionally on the road and at customer sites.

Deliveries will include car parts such as brake pads, brake discs, nuts and bolts, mirrors, automotive fluids (oils, coolants, screen wash), and car batteries.
Some days you may start in the warehouse before heading out on deliveries; other days you may start on the road and finish in the warehouse.
