Job description

Pure Staff are currently recruiting for an experienced HGV Class 1 Night Driver to work with one of our valued clients based in Newport. This is an excellent opportunity for a reliable and professional driver looking for ongoing night shifts, competitive pay, and a supportive working environment.

Pure Staff specialise in the recruitment of HGV Drivers for the logistics, distribution, and supply chain sectors. We work with clients across England, Wales, and Scotland, offering driving opportunities that suit your skills, experience, and lifestyle.

The Role

Start Date: Immediate Start Available

As an HGV Class 1 Night Driver, you will be responsible for completing multi-drop deliveries and collections of palletised goods across your designated route.

Drivers can expect to complete between 3 and 12 drops per shift, using a pump truck where required. Average shift lengths are between 10 and 12 hours, with start times typically between 17:00 and 19:00.

This is a customer-facing role that requires a professional attitude and excellent communication skills when representing both Pure Staff and our client.

Key Responsibilities

• Complete multi-drop deliveries and collections of palletised goods safely and efficiently.
• Carry out between 3 and 12 deliveries or collections per shift.
• Use a pump truck to assist with deliveries where required.
• Conduct daily vehicle checks and report any defects promptly.
• Ensure all delivery paperwork is completed accurately and on time.
• Adhere to all driver hours, working time regulations, and company procedures.
• Maintain a professional and customer-focused approach when interacting with customers.
• Wear the correct PPE at all times, including safety boots and hi-vis clothing.
• Successfully complete a driving assessment prior to commencing work.

To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Need

• A valid Class 2 (Category C) Licence.
• A valid Driver CPC Qualification.
• A valid Digital Tachograph Card.
• A minimum of 6 months' Class 2 driving experience.
• No more than 6 penalty points with no TT, TS, MS, DR, or DD endorsements.
• A professional, reliable, and safety-conscious attitude.

Pay Rates

• Monday to Friday Nights: £17.50 per hour plus £2.11 per hour accrued holiday pay (equivalent to £19.61 per hour including holiday pay).

Holiday Pay

We believe professional HGV Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave. Rather than rolling your holiday pay into every hourly rate, your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off.

That means when you take a well-earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.

Your holiday pay is accrued separately and paid when you take annual leave, ensuring you're rewarded while encouraging regular time off, which we believe is essential for safety, well being, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
