At the centre of our UK business, Ocado Logistics is a network of high-tech, fast-paced warehouses, spokes and offices across the country. Our people are at the heart of this, and are devoted to providing a first class service centred entirely around our customers, ensuring they receive the best possible shopping experience.

Promoting a culture and environment which is compassionate, open, inclusive, safe and healthy can be a challenge, but particularly when your workforce is dispersed across multiple locations.

By combining D&I and wellbeing within the role, we recognise the synergies between these areas enabling us to adopt an integrated approach and ensure that they are effectively embedded into ways of working.
