About the Role
We are recruiting an experienced HGV Class 1 shunter driver for Christmas period work to join a busy parcel delivery operation.

Who Might Suit This Role
This position is suitable for experienced HGV Class 1 drivers, yard shunters, depot drivers, or trunk drivers from parcel delivery, logistics, or distribution backgrounds. It is ideal for someone who prefers depot-based movements rather than long-distance driving. This role is specifically for Christmas period work, making it perfect for seasonal drivers.

Why Join

• Regular night shift pattern from Monday to Friday

• Overtime paid at a higher rate after 40 hours

• Work with a stable parcel delivery company during the busy Christmas period

• Temporary role with clear start and end dates
