With Brakes, there’ll be no stopping you. We invest time and money in our HGV Class 2 Drivers, so you can take your career forwards. With a new leadership team on site, we’re on a journey to make life better for our drivers and recently increased our pay to recognise the great service they deliver to our customers. You might be a newly qualified Class 2 Driver looking to build up your expertise with full support behind you, or even an experienced HGV Driver wanting better rewards. If you’re ready to join a market-leading business, you’ll have all you need to progress your driving career in new directions – from fleet management to planning and other senior roles.

This is more than a driving job. It’s a career with the largest food service provider in the UK. For you, that means security, stability and some of the best benefits in the business – from big discounts on high quality food, to standardised shifts with permanent Sundays off. We offer award winning training too. Your journey with us starts with an eight-week induction, beginning in the classroom we’ll then get you out on the road with a Training Support Driver to ensure you feel comfortable with your route. And our ongoing coaching afterwards means you can develop at your own pace.

As a multi-drop driver, there’ll never be a dull day. Delivering to a wide range of customers on well-planned routes, there will be some element of picking stock at each drop which breaks the driving up and keeps you active.

In addition to your salary, annual leave and company pension, join us and you’ll also enjoy these benefits:

• Wagestream – Access to an app that gives you early access to your earned salary and supports financial wellbeing
• The option to purchase up to 10 days additional annual leave
• Help at Hand - Access to 24/7 GP appointments, physiotherapy and a range of health and wellbeing services for you and your family
• Life assurance
• Access to Sysco Perks offering discounts across a wide range of products and services – from gym membership to your weekly supermarket shop
• The ability to purchase our products at hugely discounted prices

If you want to feel rewarded for your skills, join us and secure your future as an HGV Class 2 Driver with the industry leaders.
