Key responsibilities include:

• Completing scheduled collections and returning stock to designated depots.
• Carrying out vehicle safety checks and reporting defects.
• Maintaining accurate transport records and documentation.

• Are you 23 years of age or older?
• Do you hold a valid Class 1 (CE) HGV Licence and have at least 12 months' CE experience?
• Are your Driver CPC Qualification Card and Digital Tachograph Card valid and in date?
• Does the licence held carry no more than 6 penalty points?
• Are you comfortable managing multiple collections during a shift?
• Are you confident working within Drivers' Hours Regulations and tachograph requirements?
• Do you take pride in safety, professionalism, and attention to detail?

Please note: Due to insurance and operational requirements, applications can only be progressed where all of the above criteria are met.

What Can You Expect When You Join Us?

Drivers play a vital role in the success of the business. In return for your commitment, we offer competitive rates of pay, regular daytime work, and consistent schedules that support a healthy work-life balance.

Successful applicants will join a growing organisation operating a modern, well-maintained fleet, supported by an experienced Transport and Logistics Team. Benefits include company-issued uniform and PPE, holiday entitlement, pension enrolment, and secure long-term employment within a business that values reliability, teamwork, and commitment.
