NOW HIRING: RECOVERY DRIVERS

(Because apparently no one else is brave enough…)

Are you the kind of person who laughs in the face of danger, scoffs at sleep, and doesn't mind spending quality time with broken-down vehicles on the side of a freezing, rain-lashed motorway at 3am?

Great. You might just be our next Recovery Driver.

About the Job

Forget warm offices and comfortable chairs. This role is all about:

* Long hours (because cars never break down at a convenient time).

* Lousy working conditions (mud, rain, sleet, snow, possibly the tears of the stranded motorists you're rescuing).

* Bad weather (Mother Nature will be your constant companion, and she's in a mood).

* Strange locations (lay-bys, ditches, farm tracks).

* Interesting smells (engines, exhausts, and the heartfelt aroma of pure desperation).

What You'll Do

* Rescue drivers who insist their car "just stopped for no reason."

* Load, tow, lift, haul, and occasionally perform miracle-level parking manoeuvres.

* Maintain a heroic level of patience with the general public.

* Drink more tea than medically advisable.

* Tell friends and family, "Sorry, I'm on call," at least twice a week.

What We're Looking For

* A full UK driving licence (the more categories, the better).

* Mechanical know-how, or at least the confidence to look like you know what you're doing.

* The ability to stay calm while the weather tries to kill you.

* A sense of humour darker than a December motorway hard shoulder.

* Someone who doesn't mind being a roadside knight in fluorescent armour.

Perks of the Job

* The smug satisfaction of being the person who saves the day.

* A hi-vis uniform that really brings out your eyes.

* Endless stories no one will believe unless they've done recovery work.

* Competitive pay (we promise it'll feel worth it on the good days).

Apply Now

If you're ready to embrace the chaos, battle the elements, and become the unsung hero of British roads… Send us your CV. We can't promise comfort, but we can promise character-building weather, long hours, and a job you'll never forget.

Recovery driving: it's like being a superhero, but colder.
