About the Role

We're looking for an experienced Class 1 Driver to join a busy and friendly haulage team based in Tewkesbury. This is a night-shift position working on a five-week rolling rota, typically starting between 10pm and 3am, including some weekends and bank holidays.

If you're a reliable and safety-conscious driver who enjoys working independently, this role offers great variety, a competitive salary, and the chance to work with a well-organised logistics operation.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Carry out safe, timely deliveries of goods to wholesale and retail customers.

  • Complete daily vehicle checks and report any issues promptly.

  • Load and unload goods, ensuring all items are secure and accurate before travel.

  • Maintain high standards of vehicle cleanliness and personal presentation.

  • Manage delivery paperwork and use handheld or electronic systems to record deliveries.

  • Handle customer payments and returned goods when required.

  • Follow all health & safety, food hygiene, and security procedures.

  • Represent the company in a professional, friendly manner with customers.

  • Provide cover for colleagues during holidays and sickness periods.

What You'll Need

  • A full UK Category CE (Class 1) licence with minimal penalty points.

  • A valid Driver CPC and digital tachograph card.

  • Strong communication skills and a professional attitude.

  • Great attention to detail and excellent time management.

  • Comfortable working nights, early starts, and weekends on a rota.

Desirable (but not essential)

  • Previous experience in delivery driving, distribution, or logistics.

  • Familiarity with electronic handheld delivery systems.

  • Forklift licence.

Why Apply?

  • £41,000 annual salary

  • Stable, long-term role with consistent hours

  • Supportive team environment

  • Varied routes and customers-no two nights are the same
