We're looking for a transport support assistant to join our team in the West Thurrock depot.

Working in a close-knit team, you'll help support and make sure that our deliveries to stores run perfectly, so our customers and members can always get their hands on the products they love most.

If you can bring the administrative skills and attention to detail we're looking for, we can offer you a great opportunity with a business that puts people at the heart of its strategy.

What you'll do:

- organise and produce paperwork, including collection information, delivery notes and store information
- confirm dispatch routes, making sure drivers can easily navigate their way to stores
- arrange driver cover for absences
- double check roadwork issues that could prevent delivery
- co-ordinate vehicles so that they're assigned a docking station and stock can be loaded on time
- hand over cab keys and paperwork to docking base staff
- responsible for compliance including licence check and agency worker regulations


This role would suit someone who has:

• strong administration skills

- experience using Microsoft Office (Word, Excel etc)
- great organisation skills
- attention to detail and can easily spot gaps, errors and mistakes
- a clear passion for work and a keen eye for continuous improvement
- experience from a logistics background, but this isn't essential


Why Co-op?

As a Co-op colleague you'll do work that matters in an organisation where principles are just as important as profits.

You'll also get a package that includes:
- competitive rates of pay

• 31 days holiday (rising in line with service) including bank holidays

- discounts on Co-op products and services
- a pension with up to 10% employer contributions
