Pure Staff's Driving Team are currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers to support one of our long-standing customers based in Bilston. Immediate starts are available for reliable drivers looking for regular ongoing work. Our customer is one of the UK's leading poultry processing and food manufacturing businesses, supplying fresh and frozen chicken products to major supermarkets, food manufacturers and food-service providers nationwide.

This HGV Class 1 Driver role is based in Bilston within the food manufacturing industry. Drivers can expect consistent, regular work completing 1 to 3 RDC deliveries/collections per shift using modern refrigerated trailers on professionally planned nationwide routes. Demand is highest between Friday and Monday, although shifts are available throughout the week, and we can accommodate drivers looking for weekend-only work. Typical start times are between 01:00 and 03:00 and 14:00 and 17:00.

Why drive for Pure Staff as an HGV Class 1 Driver?

• No gimmicks. No confusing pay. Just honest PAYE employment.
• Some agencies advertise confusing umbrella assignment rates that include employer on-costs within the advertised rate.
• Others use outsourced payroll companies that can add unnecessary complexity and leave drivers unsure who is actually paying them.
• Some even include holiday pay within the hourly rate without making it clear.

At Pure Staff, we believe in keeping things simple, transparent and compliant:

• You are employed directly by Pure Staff 100% PAYE - No umbrella companies - No outsourced payroll companies - No limited company arrangements
• Weekly pay directly into your bank every Thursday night / Friday morning
• Paid by our own experienced in-house payroll team
• Paid accurately and on time (99.9% of the time), with any discrepancies investigated and corrected promptly
• No payroll processing fees
• No administration charges
• No hidden deductions or nasty surprises

We simply tell you exactly what you'll earn.

Holiday Pay:

We believe professional HGV Class 1 Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave. Rather than rolling your holiday pay into every hourly rate, your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off. That means when you take a well‑earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.

To be successful in this HGV Class 1 Driver role in Bilston, you will need:

• UK Category C+E Licence
• Valid Digital Tachograph Card
• Valid Driver CPC Card
• Minimum 12 months' HGV Class 1 driving experience
