Job description

7.5 Tonne Driver

Warwick HSSU Hub | Sterile Services Unit | Permanent | Full Time

From £25,800 based on 37.5 hours, enhancements for unsocial hours, overtime paid at 50% depending on experience

37.5 hours per week

Our Hospital Sterile Services Unit (HSSU) transports sterile and disinfected surgical equipment to our local hospital network. If you hold a full driving licence with C1 entitlement, allowing you to drive rigid vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW), and possess a digital tachograph card, you could enjoy the benefits of joining the UK's largest Healthcare Charity.

A full Driver Qualification Card ("CPC - Certificate of Professional Competence") is advantageous; however, full training and support are available for the right candidate.

As a Driver within our HSSU team, you'll be comfortable with manual handling and moving transport trolleys weighing upwards of 250kg. You'll have a basic knowledge of drivers' hours legislation, working time directive and ideally hold a digital tachograph card. As one of the first points of contact for our customers, you'll be a professional ambassador for both our unit and Nuffield Health.

As a Driver, your duties will include:

• Collect and deliver sterile surgical equipment to our hospital customers.
• Operate planned delivery routes with a maximum of four customer deliveries/collections per shift.
• Provide a professional, reliable, and customer-focused service.
• Keep vehicles and equipment in good working order and report any faults or defects promptly.
• Maintain a clean, tidy working environment and identify any stock issues as they arise.
• Maintain accurate tachograph records and transport documentation.
• Be flexible with working hours. Shifts operate between 4am and 9pm, Monday to Friday, with varying start and finish times on Saturdays.

Helping you feel good

• Free gym membership and discounted family memberships.
• Free private healthcare, discounted for family members
• Full uniform and PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) provided.
• Generous holiday entitlement plus additional paid wellbeing days.
• Enhanced pay rates, including night enhancements between 7pm and 7am.
• Overtime paid after 37.5 hours.
• Annual pay reviews
• Free onsite parking.
• CPC top-up training provided.
• Modern Mercedes-Benz 7.5-tonne vehicles fitted with tail lifts.

This is not a multi-drop driving role. Drivers typically complete a maximum of four customer deliveries or collections per shift, allowing greater focus on safety, customer service, and vehicle care.
