Ocado Logistics: Be the Angel of the South Bank

We’re looking for canny locals to join our new Gateshead site this summer – people who get that a doorstep delivery of bacon, eggs, and tea isn't just a job; it’s a public service.

Forget the city grind. Trading the commute for a local career means more time for what matters. We offer proper Gateshead graft with stable shifts and all the gear to keep you in the driving seat of your own career.

Exciting news for our newest recruits! You'll kick off your training at our brand-new site from 29th June.

Packed with possibilities:

Being one of Gateshead’s Angels deserves epic rewards! Because customers need their groceries at all hours, your shifts will include evenings and weekends, on top of weekdays. But don't worry, these aren't just any shifts – you’ll be paid £13.14 per hour with the opportunity to earn overtime at time and quarter plus Paid Breaks.

Beyond a safe working environment, which is a given for our champions, we offer a shopping list of perks you can tailor to your lifestyle:

A company pension of up to 7% matched contributions – and even after just 3 months with us

An enhanced digital health and wellbeing service, that includes virtual GP appointments, for you and any of your dependents

Hundreds of high street shopping, entertainment and restaurant discounts

Life insurance coverage that begins on day one of your employment

15% off your weekly shop with (url removed)

Loads more voluntary benefits such as dental and travel insurance at a discounted price

It doesn't stop there and neither will your progression – if you suddenly decide that being an Angel of the Sunday spread isn’t for you, there’s plenty of opportunity across the business, as 87% of our salaried roles are filled by internal colleagues!

So, what do we need from you?

You don’t need a pair of wings or even previous delivery experience – just your awesome self and a positive attitude! Our training team will equip you with the local know-how to become a neighbourhood hero.

However, it goes without saying you will need some essentials…

Full UK or EU driving licence.

Minimum of 12 months driving experience.

Maximum of 6 penalty points.

No driving disqualifications in the past 5 years.

Some deliveries involve the handling of alcohol products, so you must be over 18 to apply.

As this is a customer-facing role, good communication skills and the ability to deliver joy to our customers goes without saying.

How to apply:

Fill in an online application - there is no CV needed!

Our friendly recruitment team will get in touch to conduct an Online Licence Check and Right to Work Checks.

We will then arrange a virtual interview with one of the team.

We will run a Disclosure Barring System check (DBS).

Once all checks are completed, you will be offered the role and your career with Ocado Logistics will start!

Contract Type: Permanent

Contract Hours: 37.5 hours (including paid breaks)

Contracted days: You will be required to work any 5 days out of 7 doing 7.5 hour shifts and will be provided with further information during pre-boarding.

Shifts: AM & PM. You may start as early as 05:30 in the morning and can finish as late as 12:00 (midnight). Please check your commute time prior to applying. You will receive your shift rota up to 13 weeks in advance.

Pay Structure: The position is lunar paid. This means you will be paid every 4 weeks according to a monthly schedule. Please take this into consideration when applying.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident employer, prioritising inclusivity and equal opportunities for all individuals, ensuring a supportive and accessible workplace for people with disabilities. Whatever your background, whatever your story, you'll find a home for heroes at Ocado Logistics
