About The Role
This temporary Class 1 Driver role with Manpower UK operates from York, serving a major confectionery distributor. The position offers £21.17 to £23.03 hourly, depending on duties. Working patterns vary considerably: day driving, night trunking, shunting, and nights away, plus weekend availability. Shifts average eight to twelve hours, with two to four weekly, though hours remain ad hoc, covering holidays, sickness, and peak demand. Drivers must hold a valid C+E licence and demonstrate full flexibility across all shift types. Duties include vehicle operation, loading, and unloading. A meal allowance of up to £10 applies, and each shift guarantees a minimum of six paid hours.
Manpower are looking to recruit a Class 1 driver (C+E) to work at one of the largest confectionery distributors in the UK, based in the York area.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
