Catering Driver

Walsall Catering services are looking to appoint an experienced driver to join our in-house catering team. You will be required to have previous commercial driving experience as you will travel daily across the Walsall borough. A full driver's license is required and a driver assessment will form part of the recruitment process.

You will be required to collect food/other items from production areas and transport them to schools across the borough. This may involve handling numerous large heavy boxes of food and trays, cutlery utensils and any other food or equipment required daily.

We are looking for hard working flexible applicants who have no problem with heavy lifting or manual handling and have an awareness of health & safety. You must be able to work to extremely tight deadlines, be a good team player and have good interpersonal skills. The successful applicants will have the ability to communicate effectively with customers, be self-reliant, and well organised.

Posts are covered by the Government's Code of Practice on the English Language Fluency Duty for public sector workers. The post holders will be required to communicate verbally with customers and provide advice and/or information in accurate spoken English

At Walsall Council, we appreciate that AI can be a useful tool for ideas or guidance. However, we encourage you to make sure your application reflects your own voice and experiences. Over-reliance on AI can make responses feel less personal, and we really want to understand what makes you unique. Your experiences, skills, and perspective are what set you apart, so please ensure your application as a whole - particularly your 'Supporting Information' - reflects your own voice.
