About us
Sutton Community Farm is a community-owned farm in south London. We are a social enterprise with a mission to increase access to fresh, healthy, sustainable food and provide a shared space for the community to cultivate skills.
One of our main projects is a local VegBox delivery scheme. Every week, we deliver bags of vegetables to homes and pick-up points across Sutton, and other areas of south London. Our product is very important to us and we are proud to deliver superior veg to our customers. The delivery driver role is a vital part of what we do and you will have the responsibility to make sure our valued customers receive their VegBoxes in tip top condition.
About the role
In response to growing customer numbers, we are looking for reliable and responsible drivers to undertake these regular deliveries in their own vehicle. Hours will vary based on our customer orders, and driver availability. A typical day will start at 8am and finish at 4pm, but there is some flexibility if this does not suit you, and sometimes we will ask you to work outside of these hours. You will start and finish at Sutton Community Farm, arriving promptly to pick up bags of fresh farm-grown veg carefully packed by volunteers and staff.
Your qualities
You will be a reliable and experienced multi-drop driver who is supportive of the farm’s aims and be committed to supporting sustainable small-scale food production and retail.
