Summary
Location: Nottingham
Pay: From £13.25 per hour + enhancements
Hours: 08:00–17:00 (1-hour unpaid lunch)
Contract: Full-time, permanent
We are a Nottingham-based same-day courier company looking for a professional van driver to join our team. This is not a multidrop role like DHL or UPS — our work is time-critical, customer-focused, and varies day to day.
Due to the nature of same-day logistics, flexibility is essential. While standard hours are 08:00–17:00, start and finish times can vary, and occasional early starts (including from 2am) may be required.
Pay & Benefits:
£13.25 per hour (dependent on experience)
Enhanced rates for anti-social hours (after 10pm and before 6am)
28 days holiday (including bank holidays), increasing with length of service
Company pension scheme
Mobile phone allowance
Commission scheme for onboarding new customers
Well-maintained, varied vehicle fleet
Vehicles You’ll Typically Drive (usually fixed to a single vehicle where possible).
This role is primarily van-based, including:
Small vans
Short & extra-long wheelbase Transits
Luton box vans with tail-lifts
Luton curtain-sided vans with tail lifts
3.5-tonne flatbed vehicles
**Drivers with HGV licences (C1 / C / C+E) are strongly encouraged to apply.
While this is not a full-time HGV role, HGV-qualified drivers may be offered occasional work on 7.5t or 18t vehicles where required.**
Key Responsibilities:
Carry out same-day collections and deliveries safely and efficiently
Ensure safe van loading procedures are followed, including manual handling
Always adhere to road traffic laws and safe driving practices
Complete daily vehicle checks and defect reporting
Provide a high standard of customer service at all delivery points
Represent the company professionally at all times
Apply If You:
Hold a full UK driving licence (minimum 3 years) with no more than 6 points
Are reliable, punctual, and able to work to tight deadlines
Have a strong awareness of road safety and compliance
Are positive, friendly, and customer-focused
Can work independently and manage time-critical deliveries
Are flexible with working hours and shift patterns
Desirable (But Not Essential):
Previous courier or same-day delivery experience
Experience with Lutons, flatbeds, or tail lift vehicles
HGV licence (C1, C, or C+E)
Why Join Us?
We focus on quality, not quantity. You won’t be chasing unrealistic drop counts, instead, you’ll be trusted with important, time-sensitive deliveries and given responsibility and variety in your role.
If you’re a professional van driver who takes pride in their work — or a qualified HGV driver happy to do van work with occasional larger vehicles — we’d love to hear from you.
