Job Description:
Driver Hire Leeds West are currently looking to recruit several HGV Class 1 drivers to join our expanding team working for our renowned healthcare client based in Leeds LS11.
Our client believes their team members are at the heart of everything they do; they are united in their responsibilities to create healthier futures. They are the UK’s leading wholesaler of healthcare products, working alongside 17,000 pharmacies, doctors, hospitals, and health centres from their 12 service centres across the UK.
We are looking for drivers with experience who would be happy to work on a full-time basis, with the potential for some work on a Saturday. However, reliability is paramount. We often find ourselves having to cover shifts at the last minute, so a degree of flexibility is required of all our drivers to cover all available shifts. Therefore, you must be able to communicate clearly with our consultants regarding your availability for work. It’s imperative we know who is available and when in case a last-minute shift becomes available.
Whilst many of our pay rates are determined by our clients, we will always argue for the best pay rates for our drivers. Our pay rates start at £16.81ph for Class 1 work; however, more can be earned with weekend rates exceeding £19.61. These rates include Holiday Pay upfront. We operate our own payroll too, so you won’t be shortchanged by those pesky Umbrella Companies.
Basic Requirements of the Role:
* 1 Year HGV Class 1 Driving Experience
* Fully up-to-date licences with no more than three live points on your licence – Driving Licence checks are carried out on a regular basis.
* A Full CPC Card
* Safety Boots and Hi-Vis
* The ability to work alone, and be comfortable in manual handling and handballing.
* Flexibility, Communication, and Honesty
* Team players
* Route planning experience is preferred.
* Previous experience of multi-drop is desirable.
We work with some great companies in the area, and we believe our service is vital to supporting them, and that’s where you come in. We look out for our drivers by checking in with them regularly, helping them find the right companies for them and making them feel like members of our family.
Our current drivers love working for Driver Hire. In a recent company-wide survey, 95% of our drivers feel proud to work for Driver Hire, which is a testament to how we work and treat our drivers. We are a diverse and inclusive employer and welcome applications from all members of society.
If joining the Driver Hire team sounds good to you, please give us a call at our office or apply online, and one of our team of friendly consultants will be in touch to arrange an interview.
