Do you look for variety in your working week? Are you looking for flexibility by choosing which days you work? If so, we may have the answer! Due to an increase in demand we are recruiting 7.5 tonne (HGV) drivers for a variety of our clients across the North East.
Daily work mainly involves delivering locally across the region but distance runs throughout the country are also a possibility.
It could be anything from working with local builders merchants, pharmaceuticals supermarkets, insulation, glass, steel or furniture.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Rates of pay starting from £14.25 per hour (PAYE). Enhanced rate available for overtime, weekends and nights.
The Ideal Candidate Will Have
- A valid C1 – 7.5 tonne driving licence
- Valid CPC
- Valid Digital tachograph
- Recent commercial driving experience would be advantageous but not essential
