Beyond driving and moving stock, you will also take pride in looking after your vehicle, keeping it clean, road-worthy, and secure at all times. You will handle straightforward day-to-day admin like journey logs and mileage reports, and we will even train and qualify you to carry out portable appliance testing (PAT) on donated electricals, ensuring every item we sell is safe and ready to go. Everywhere you go, you will be a friendly, visible ambassador for Blue Cross, bringing energy, care, and practical support to our local communities.
