Pure Staff are recruiting a Night Warehouse Operative / Relief Van Driver to support one of our longest-standing customers based in Manchester. Our customer is one of the world’s largest automotive manufacturers, representing some of the best-known vehicle brands in the industry. Pure Staff has proudly supplied this business for many years and has helped well over 100 temporary drivers secure permanent employment within the last three years.

This is primarily a Warehouse Operative position where approximately 95% of your working time will be in the warehouse. However, we’re looking for somebody who also holds a full UK driving licence and is comfortable driving a van when occasionally required. Driving cover would typically only be needed for unexpected customer runs, last-minute sickness or other unforeseen driver absence. This isn’t a 50/50 split and you shouldn’t expect to be out driving every week as your main job is in the warehouse.
