HGV Class 1 Driver

Position: HGV Class 1 Driver

Contract Type: Permanent – 45 hrs

Location: Bristol

Shift: Mon-Fri 8am - 6pm

Salary: £37,042.20

Join the UK’s premier parcel delivery company

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.

The role is based on 45 paid hours per week, typically worked as 9 paid hours per day, Monday to Friday, with an additional 1-hour unpaid break each day.

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. The average number of stops in a shift is 4 to 6, so there’s plenty of time to enjoy being out on the open road.

You’ll make sure Cages, Pallets, Freight, Stillages and Yorks 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. Here’s what you can expect:

Annual Leave: At least 28 days of annual leave (including Bank Holidays).

Career Progression

Inclusive Benefits: Access to flexible perks including shopping vouchers, insurance, and healthcare.

What We’re Looking For:

Class 1 Driving licence

Driver CPC qualification card

Completed required DCPC training hours or be working towards them

Excellent knowledge of Road Transport Laws - and commitment to safe use of the roads
