Job Description

Posted Thursday 16 July 2026 at 00:00 | Expires Thursday 30 July 2026 at 23:59

Evri Group is the UK’s premier parcel delivery business, uniting four distinct brands—Evri, Evri Premium, a network of DHL, UK Mail and Irish e-commerce specialist Coll-8—to deliver more than 1 billion parcels and letters annually across the UK and to over 200 global destinations. With 12,000 colleagues, 30,000 couriers and drivers, 8,000 vehicles, and a nationwide network of hubs, depots and fulfilment centres, we combine over 50 years of expertise with the scale and flexibility to support everyone from casual senders to SMEs and major retailers. Driven by our friendly, ambitious and diverse people, we are passionate about delivering exceptional service and offer exciting opportunities across the Evri Group.

Contract Type: Permanent - 45 hours weekly

Location: Croydon

Shift: Nights / Mon-Fri

What You’ll Do

You will drive a lorry from our exceptional fleet of Volvo vehicles, all less than 4 years old. They’re a joy to drive, and are equipped to a high specification, including fridges, leather seats and many more optional extras to make sure you’re comfortable. Most of our sites run from Monday to Friday, with 45 hour working weeks, and 9‑hour shifts per day which typically start at 5/6pm. Our well‑organised shift schedules mean you often know in advance where you’ll be driving, taking the stress out of your day.

Key Role Responsibilities

We don’t micromanage our drivers. We trust them to get the job done and plan their own routes. This job involves trunking to regional hubs on the night shift. So, if you like the independence of being out on the open road for long stretches – but also want to be home again at the end of every 9‑hour shift, this is the job for you.

You’ll make sure cages, pallets, freight, stowages and boxes get to and from customers bang on time. At some sites, the goods will be loaded or unloaded for you – at others, you’ll need to do it yourself. Scanning consignments and driving pallet trucks will sometimes be part of your day.

You’ll be responsible for inspecting your vehicle and trailer every day and complete a defect report if necessary.

What We Can Offer You

We’re proud to offer a workplace where everyone can thrive.

• Annual Leave: At least 28 days of annual leave (including Bank Holidays).
• Inclusive Benefits: Access to flexible perks, including shopping vouchers, insurance, and healthcare.

What We’re Looking For

• Class 1 driving licence as a minimum.
• Completed required DCPC training hours, or be working toward them.
• Excellent knowledge of Road Transport Laws and commitment to safe use of the roads.

We’re committed to building a truly inclusive and diverse workplace where everyone can bring – and be – their whole authentic selves.

We’re also on a mission to be the UK’s most accessible delivery business. We’ve partnered with Scope, the leading disability equality charity, to improve deliveries for millions of customers and give extra support to our colleagues and couriers who need it.

Collaboration is key because we work better together. Bring passion, ambition and an open mind, and in return we’ll give you respect, flexibility and a place where you can thrive.

Evri Group for everyone
