Job description

Pure Staff's Driving Team are recruiting HGV Class 1 Drivers in Bilston for one of our long-standing customers, a leading UK food manufacturer and distributor. This is consistent, ongoing Thursday/Friday to Monday/Tuesday work, completing 1 to 3 RDC deliveries or collections per shift using refrigerated trailers. We have consistent and reliable night available between 16:00 and 04:00, with shifts averaging around 10 hours.

Ideal for drivers wanting a regular working pattern with Tuesday, Wednesday and/or Thursday off, with immediate starts and occasional temporary-to-permanent opportunities available.

Rates for an HGV Class 1 Night Driver

Monday to Friday (Nights) £20.17ph

Saturday (Nights) = £21.29ph

Sunday & Bank Holidays (Nights) = £22.41ph

The rates advertised above include 12.07% Rolled-Up Holiday Pay.

Prefer to have your holiday pay saved and paid when you take annual leave? No problem. You can choose traditional accrued holiday pay instead, in which case, the 12.07% holiday element is removed from the advertised hourly rate above, and accrued separately, and paid to you when you take annual leave.

Night shifts start between 16:00 and 03:59 and are paid at higher rates. We have day shifts available too.

• Direct PAYE employment with Pure Staff. No umbrella companies and no outsourced payroll companies.
• No payroll processing fees, no administration charges and no hidden deductions.
• Accurate and reliable weekly pay every Thursday night / Friday morning.
• Paid by our experienced in-house payroll team.

Straightforward PAYE employment with simple payslips. Plus, Optional Rolled-Up Holiday Pay:

• Have holiday pay accrued and paid when you take annual leave, or
• Receive Rolled-Up Holiday Pay as part of your weekly wages.

To be successful in this HGV Class 1 Night Driver role in Bilston, you will need:

• UK Category C+E Licence
• Valid Digital Tachograph Card
• Valid Driver CPC Card
• Minimum 12 month's HGV Class 1 driving experience
• No more than 6 penalty points
• A professional, reliable and safety-conscious attitude.
• Good understanding of Driver Hours, Working Time Regulations, tachograph legislation and daily vehicle safety checks.

This is a temporary ongoing vacancy with regular work available. Temporary to permanent opportunities are common, with many successful drivers securing permanent employment after demonstrating their reliability, professionalism and positive attitude.
