Description
At Vintage.com, we’re building the most trusted platform for pre-loved items. We help people give valuable things a new life, making the experience simple, transparent and rewarding.
We bring together specialist knowledge, thoughtful technology and genuine care for our customers. By helping more items stay in circulation, we create value for people and make a positive impact at the same time.
Our Facilities Team helps create a safe, welcoming and well-maintained workplace where everyone can do their best work. Based at our Netherlands sites, we keep our spaces clean, organised and ready for our teams.
We work closely with all teams across the business to keep our sites running smoothly. We support the movement of people, stock and supplies and make sure our workplaces are safe and well looked after.
We're a practical, hands-on team. We take pride in our work, respond to what the business needs and work together to keep our sites working at their best.
As a Driver & Warehouse Operative, you’ll help keep our Netherlands operations connected by moving stock, equipment, supplies and colleagues safely and efficiently between our sites and local transport hubs.
A big part of your role will be driving, making sure the right people and items get to the right place at the right time. When you’re not on the road, you’ll support our Logistics and Operations teams with the practical work needed to keep stock moving through our sites.
This is a hands-on role that involves regular loading, unloading and movement of boxes, stock and equipment. You’ll work independently while driving and as part of the wider team on site, adapting your day as operational priorities change.
By keeping transport reliable and stock moving safely, you’ll help our teams work efficiently and keep valuable pre-loved items moving through our operation.

- Move boxes, stock and equipment between vehicles, warehouses and work areas so operational teams have what they need.
- Organise stock in designated areas so it remains safe, accessible and easy for teams to locate.
- Use pallet trucks, forklifts and other material-handling equipment safely when trained and authorised to do so.
- Support daily stock movements and wider warehouse priorities when additional capacity is needed.
- Keep warehouse and logistics areas clean, organised and clear so people and stock can move around the site safely.
- Complete required vehicle checks before driving, making sure vehicles are safe and ready to use.

- Maintain accurate records of vehicle checks, journeys and maintenance where required.
- Organise your workload around transport, delivery and collection schedules so agreed movements happen on time.
- Adapt your priorities throughout the day, moving between driving and warehouse responsibilities as operational needs change.

- Follow road safety, manual-handling and workplace safety requirements at all times.
- Check that stock, equipment and other goods are loaded and secured correctly before every journey.
