- Assisting with deliveries and collections.
- Helping the driver navigate routes and find delivery addresses.

- Assisting with returned products, empty containers and other company items.
- Keeping the delivery vehicle clean and orderly.
- Following company health, safety and security procedures.
- Providing professional and courteous service to customers.
- Performing other reasonable duties assigned by management.
These responsibilities combine physical stock handling, delivery support, attention to detail and customer interaction.
Requirements and Qualifications
The minimum educational requirement is Grade 12 or Matric.
The listing also identifies several qualities relevant to the role:
- Good communication skills.
- Reliability and punctuality.
- A strong work ethic.
- The ability to work effectively in a team.
Previous experience as a van assistant, warehouse assistant or in a similar position is described as an advantage. Applicants without those exact job titles should not automatically assume they are ineligible, because the supplied listing does not make that experience compulsory.
No driver's licence requirement, minimum number of experience years or additional certificate is specified in the supplied vacancy.
Experience and Skills
The position may suit candidates who can follow delivery instructions, handle goods carefully and communicate clearly with drivers, supervisors and customers.
Experience involving loading and offloading, checking stock quantities, preparing deliveries, warehouse work or obtaining proof of delivery may be relevant where the applicant genuinely has it. These are examples of experience to highlight on a CV, rather than additional requirements imposed by the listing.
Reliability and teamwork are important because the assistant works alongside the driver and helps ensure that deliveries are completed accurately.
