Job description

Our client is a leading specialist transport and logistics business providing heavy haulage, lifting support and equipment transport services to the construction, infrastructure and industrial sectors across the UK. Due to continued growth, they are looking to recruit experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers to join their professional transport team.

This HGV Class 1 Driver role is based in Newport. Drivers can expect regular trunking, general haulage and barrier movements using a modern fleet of well-maintained vehicles. Shifts are available Monday to Sunday, with average shift lengths of around 10 hours. Day shifts typically start between 05:00hrs and 06:00hrs, while night shifts generally begin at 17:00hrs. The client values reliable drivers and regularly rebooks those who perform well, providing excellent opportunities for ongoing work.

Why drive for Pure Staff as an HGV Class 1 Driver?

No gimmicks. No confusing pay. Just honest PAYE employment.

Some agencies advertise confusing umbrella assignment rates that include employer on-costs within the advertised rate. Others use outsourced payroll companies that can add unnecessary complexity and leave drivers unsure who is actually paying them. Some even include holiday pay within the hourly rate without making it clear.

At Pure Staff, we believe in keeping things simple, transparent and compliant:

• You are employed directly by Pure Staff
• 100% PAYE - No umbrella companies - No outsourced payroll companies - No limited company arrangements
• Weekly pay directly into your bank every Thursday night / Friday morning

• No payroll processing fees
• No administration charges
• No hidden deductions or nasty surprises

We simply tell you exactly what you\'ll earn.

Holiday Pay

We believe professional HGV Class 1 Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave. Rather than rolling your holiday pay into every hourly rate, your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off. That means when you take a well-earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.
