Job description

Monday to Friday | £21.57ph (with Rolled-Up Holiday Pay) | 12:00 to 16:00 Start Times | Optional Saturdays paid at £23.53ph | No Handball!

Pure Staff's Driving Team are recruiting HGV Class 1 Drivers in Avonmouth, Bristol for consistent ongoing work with one of the UK's largest and longest-established logistics businesses, completing trunking and retail store deliveries for a major national retail customer. This is an excellent opportunity for experienced Class 1 Drivers looking for a strong weekday rate, afternoon starts and consistent work without the need for handball.

The operation offers plenty of different start times each day between 12:00 noon and 16:00, making this particularly suitable for drivers who prefer afternoon work rather than early-morning starts. The regular working pattern is Monday to Friday, with occasional Saturday shifts available on an optional basis for drivers who want additional work.

Pay & Hours

Monday to Friday:

• £21.57 per hour (with holiday pay rolled up) or £19.25 per hour (if you opt for holiday accrual which is paid when you book time off)
• If you opt for holiday pay accrued separately it's worth an additional £2.32 per hour

Optional Saturdays:

• £23.53 per hour (with holiday pay rolled up) or £21.00 per hour (if you opt for holiday accrual which is paid when you book time off)
• If you opt for holiday pay accrued separately it's worth an additional £2.53 per hour

You'll also benefit from:

• Monday to Friday ongoing work
• Start times available between 12:00 and 16:00
• Flexibility on afternoon start times available each day
• Shifts averaging approximately 10 hours
• Optional Saturday shifts when available (never Sunday afternoons)
• Weekly PAYE pay directly through Pure Staff
• No umbrella companies or outsourced payroll providers

Your Typical Working Day
