Ongoing, full-time work

Driving Force Recruitment Ltd, operating as an Employment Business, are currently recruiting HGV Class 1 Drivers for an established food distribution operation based in Warrington, WA5. This is a fantastic opportunity for drivers looking for stable, ongoing work with excellent guaranteed hours, working just 4 shifts per week on a rolling 3-week rota.

The Role

You will be completing store deliveries of food products to locations across the region. Drivers will primarily be recruited as HGV Class 1 drivers; however, you must be flexible and willing to complete HGV Class 2 work when required as part of the operation. A major benefit of this role is that deliveries are made to closed stores, allowing you to complete deliveries without having to work around customers or busy shop floors. Products are transported on wheeled cages, which drivers will unload from the vehicle and move into the designated areas within each store. You will also be responsible for collecting empty cages, trays and other equipment for return to the Warrington depot. This is an active driving role, so drivers must be comfortable with manual handling and moving cages rather than looking for trunking-only work.

  • £18.78 per hour basic rate
  • £28.17 per hour overtime rate
  • 12 hours' pay guaranteed for every shift
  • 48 hours guaranteed per week

What We're Looking For

  • Valid Category C+E / HGV Class 1 licence
  • Valid Driver CPC
  • Valid Digital Tachograph Card
  • Previous HGV driving experience
  • Must be willing to drive both Class 1 and Class 2 vehicles when required
  • Previous store delivery or multidrop experience would be beneficial
  • No more than 6 points for minor offences
  • No DD, DR, IN, CD or TT convictions
  • Comfortable with manual handling and moving wheeled cages
