Job description

Van Driver – The Timber Group, Maidstone - Be the Friendly Face Behind Every Delivery

We are looking for a Van Driver to join our team at Maidstone. Working as part of a friendly and hard-working branch team, you'll help keep everything running smoothly with a focus on great service, safety, and reliability.

We’re a driven bunch, and that shows in everything we do.

We’re always looking for ways to do things better than we did yesterday – because being the first choice for our customers and a great place to work for our team is what we’re all about.

At The Timber Group, people matter. You’re recognised, respected, and remembered – and in return, it’s our people who earn the trust of customers, teammates and the communities we serve.

Our loyal customers stick with us because we build strong relationships. We listen, we deliver and we go the extra mile to make sure they leave happy.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Delivering products to customers efficiently, safely and on time
• Carrying out routine vehicle checks and keeping your van in top condition
• Managing delivery paperwork in line with our processes
• Pitching in around the branch and supporting the wider team when needed

We’re happy to explore flexible working options. Feel free to chat with us about it during the interview. While we might not be able to meet every request, we’ll always listen with an open mind—and there’s no judgment in asking.

What You’ll Bring

We know you're more than just a CV! At Huws Gray, we embrace individuality and believe your personality and potential are just as important as experience. If you hold a full driving licence and are ready to get behind the wheel to be part of something bigger, we’ll give you the training and support you need to shine.

What’s In It For You

We believe great work should be recognised and rewarded. Here’s what you can expect:

• A strong annual leave allowance, alongside your bank holidays
• Company bonus scheme, based on performance
• Contributory pension and life assurance
• Discounts on high street retailers, supermarkets, restaurants, gyms and cinemas
• Colleague discount across our group brands
• Attraction and travel discounts
• Training and development programmes to support your growth

We offer on-the-job training and opportunities to work towards recognised qualifications, including apprenticeships.

At Huws Gray, we believe that a diverse and inclusive workforce makes us stronger, smarter and better at serving our customers.

We’re proud to be an equal opportunities employer and we are committed to creating a respectful and inclusive workplace, whether you’re based in one of our branches, on the road or in one of our offices.

If you need any adjustments to support you through the application or interview process, please let us know.
