HGV Class 1 Driver

Trunking work from a modern depot. Nights out paid, home every weekend.

An opportunity has come up for a HGV Class 1 Driver based in Birmingham. You would be joining a settled team that has grown steadily, and taking on work that matters to the people we serve — with the time and support to do it properly.

About the role

• Complete assigned routes safely and on schedule, with daily vehicle checks before you set off.
• Load and unload carefully, checking counts and condition against the manifest.
• Keep the handheld up to date so customers get accurate tracking.
• Report defects, delays and near-misses promptly — we would always rather know early.
• Represent us well at the door: most customers meet nobody from this company but you.

What we are looking for

• A full licence with no more than six points, and the category the role requires.
• A careful approach to safety and to your own standard of work.
• Willingness to learn the parts of this you have not done before.
• Reliability — the team notices when somebody turns up when they said they would.
• Clear communication with colleagues, and with customers where the role involves them.

What we offer

• Genuine progression — most of our supervisors started in this role.
• A permanent contract and a proper induction, not a fortnight of guessing.
• Paid training and support towards the qualification the role needs.
• 28 days holiday including bank holidays, rising with service.
• Company pension, and life cover after your first year.
