Pure Staff’s Driving Team are recruiting HGV Class 1 Drivers in Avonmouth, Bristol for weekend 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 specifically for Saturday and/or Sunday work, or drivers who already work elsewhere during the week and are looking to pick up an additional weekend shift where this fits safely and legally within their Drivers’ Hours and Working Time limits.

The operation offers excellent flexibility across weekend mornings, with start times available from approximately 04:00 through to 10:00. We can accommodate most morning start-time preferences and will work with drivers around their availability wherever possible. You do not have to commit to both Saturday and Sunday. Whether you’re available every weekend, Saturdays only, Sundays only or simply looking for additional weekend shifts around other commitments, speak to our Driving Team about what works for you.

Pay & Hours

Saturdays = £23.53 per hour with holiday pay rolled up (or £21.00 per hour if you choose to accrue your holiday pay)

Sundays = £24.66 per hour with holiday pay rolled up (or £22.00 per hour if you choose to accrue your holiday pay)

You’ll also benefit from:

• No requirement to work Monday to Friday
• Morning start times between approximately 04:00 and 10:00
• Excellent flexibility around your preferred weekend start time
• Shifts averaging approximately 10 hours

• Suitable for drivers seeking additional shifts around other employment, subject to legal working and driving limits
• Weekly PAYE pay directly through Pure Staff
• No umbrella companies or outsourced payroll providers

Your Typical Working Day

You’ll be completing a mixture of HGV Class 1 trunking and retail store deliveries from the customer’s Avonmouth operation. Typical duties include:

• Morning starts between 04:00 and 10:00
• Shifts averaging approximately 10 hours
• HGV Class 1 trunking
• No handball
• Strapping and securing loads
• Completing thorough vehicle and load checks
• Ensuring trailers and loads are correctly contained before leaving site
• Following Drivers’ Hours, Working Time and site procedures

Weekend Work That Fits Around You

One of the biggest advantages of this particular requirement is the flexibility available across Saturday and Sunday mornings. We understand that weekend drivers often have different requirements. You may already work during the week and simply want one additional Saturday or Sunday shift, or you may specifically prefer weekend-only work. With starts available throughout the morning from approximately 04:00 until 10:00, we can accommodate most start-time preferences and will work with you to find shifts that suit your availability. If you’re working elsewhere, we’ll discuss your existing working pattern with you to ensure any additional shifts can be completed safely and within applicable Drivers’ Hours and Working Time limits.

Today, the wider business operates a nationwide network of transport depots and warehouses and provides logistics solutions for hundreds of organisations across sectors including retail, food and drink, manufacturing and specialist transport.
