Salary: £22,330 to £24,881

Location: FareShare Glasgow & the West of Scotland

The Role

This job is about so much more than just driving. It’s about sharing the FareShare mission that “no good food should go to waste.” Your work will help make sure that quality surplus food is helping feed people in need.

You’ll collect and deliver food to and from food partners and frontline charities across Glasgow & the West of Scotland.

You’ll need at least a 7.5 tonne/C1 class license, and a minimum of 1 year’s experience as a safe and courteous driver. You’ll also need to be physically capable, as some heavy lifting will be involved. Good experience of working within a busy depot environment is also a must.

Above all, we’re looking for a team player who shares our values. You’ll need excellent communication skills, as well as a commitment to the Move On & FSGWS ethos of equality and diversity.
