Job description

Our Vision: A UK where “No good food goes to waste”. 

We are UK’s national network of charitable food redistributors, made up of 18 independent organisations. Together, we take good quality surplus food from right across the food industry and get it to approximately 8,500 frontline charities and community groups.  Every week we provide enough food to create almost a million meals for vulnerable people.

There has never been a more exciting time to join an organisation at the heart of public consciousness

The Role

This role is about more than just driving it is about sharing FareShare Merseyside’s mission that” no good food should go to waste”.

As a collection & delivery driver for FareShare Merseyside you will deliver / collect food from our partners across the region.  You will be the face of FareShare Merseyside, being a regular point of contact with our local and diverse range of member charities receiving food.  In addition, you may also act as a host for volunteers who may join as van assistants.

Main areas of responsibility

As a van driver:

Before you leave the FareShare Merseyside warehouse: 

  • Load the van and check the van for roadworthiness
  • Understand the schedule and route that has been planned and calculated for you
  • Have a smart clean appearance, ready to meet our food partners and charities
  • Support warehouse staff with any other duties required

On the road you will be representing FareShare Merseyside

  • Drive safely, responsibly and within the law
  • Be courteous to all road users

In the van you may be joined by volunteers wanting to support the FareShare Merseyside team to ensure no good food goes to waste. 

  • Get to know your van team and respond to questions about FareShare
  • Be courteous and demonstrate FareShare’s equality and diversity policy
  • Take responsibility for the safety of volunteers who join you

At our food partners and charities:

  • Greet the food partner or charity with a smile and get to know them by name
  • Take care of the food you are collecting or delivering as if it were your own
  • Complete all relevant paperwork and checks to ensure the safety of the food

On return to FareShare Merseyside:

  • Unload and clean the van ready for the next driver
  • Report any incidents that may affect the vans roadworthiness
  • Complete all paperwork relevant to the food collected or delivered
  • Support warehouse staff with any other duties required

When you are not on the road:

  • Get to know your team and respond to questions about FareShare’s mission, the food partners who support us, charities who receive food and the planned activities for the day
  • Work as a team with the Warehouse Manager, warehouse colleagues and volunteers to ensure all shifts are well planned, supervised and meet daily operational needs
  • Ensure compliance with all FareShare policies and procedures and industry standards as required by food partners and regulators and that all staff, volunteers, food suppliers, charities and visitors adhere to them
  • Support the Warehouse Manager in managing the office, responding to emails and taking phone calls
  • Support the Warehouse Manager in organising food distribution using the FareShare food management systems and training volunteers as required
  • Maintain excellent relations and communications with volunteers, staff, food suppliers and charities

Like the supply of surplus food to FareShare no two shifts are the same. Every day new food arrives and your team will include new people who want to get involved in the FareShare mission. You will be part of a small staff team responsible for ensuring the safe and effective distribution of food each day.

Experience required

  • Experience of driving vans / medium sized vehicles
  • Experience of multi-drop deliveries
  • Experience of working within a food distribution and/or warehousing operation
  • Experience of using Sat Nav to navigate & plan routes
  • Experience of working on own initiative, able to manage own workload and prioritise tasks to meet objectives
  • Experience of working in a team with evidence of demonstrating a flexible approach to team working
  • Safe and courteous driver

Skills, Abilities and Attributes

  • Safe and courteous driver
  • Personable with excellent communication skills
  • Able to take initiative
  • Can stay clam under pressure
  • Team player willing to adopt a flexible approach to daily tasks and activities
  • Commitment to FareShare’s Equality & Diversity ethos

Essential Criteria

  • Driver must be aged 21 years
  • Have held a full UK driving licence
  • Eligible to work in the UK
  • Commitment to gain Level 2 Food Safety Qualification
