Recovery Driver

**This is the job** Making up for the breakdown, you'll be the friendly face of the UK's largest motoring organisation. To our members, you'll be a superhero. Ready for anything, you'll be there for them, anytime and anywhere. When their vehicle just can't be started, you'llstill get their day moving forward.

**What will I be doing?** When we can't get an AA member's vehicle started after a breakdown, you'll be there for the next stage in the journey. Arriving at the roadside, you'll need to be ready for anything. While they'll often be thrilled to see you, the member may be angry, upset,afraid or impatient. They could be on their way to an important meeting, a job interview, or have a flight to catch. You might work alone, but as soon as you get out of your HGV recovery truck, you'll be a partner to the customer. You'll help them feel safe,understood and taken care of. You'll listen to their concerns, reassure them about what happens next, and decide on the next step. Which might mean, as well as taking their vehicle to a garage for repair, you'll travel on with them to their important destination.

**What do I need?** Due to the nature of this HGV driving job, an element of flexibility is required. This is no 9am-5pm operation; you'll work in a rotational shift pattern that can include evenings, weekends and Bank Holidays. You'll be ready to do a lot of driving to allkinds of locations, in all weathers, and work quickly and efficiently. Your busiest - and longest - days are likely to come when the weather is least pleasant.

You'll already have a full driving category C driving licence (HGV 2) and ideally you'll hold the CE (HGV 1) licence too, although this isn't essential as we will help you to get this. Alongside this, you'll need a Driver CPC (certificate of professionalcompetence) qualification, and a digital drivers/tachograph card when you apply.

Please note that there is every possibility that this role will become permanent.
