Job Opportunity for Experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers
£20.32 per hour to £26.15 per hour | Days Monday to Friday + Weekends Available | Ongoing Work
Pure Staff's Driving Team are currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers to support one of the UK's major temperature-controlled logistics operations, based in Telford, Shropshire. The Telford operation runs 24 hours a day, offering a variety of day, night and weekend shifts to suit different working preferences. This is predominantly refrigerated trunking work to Regional Distribution Centres (RDCs), making it a good option for drivers who prefer professional, planned Class 1 trunking rather than intensive multi-drop work.
Pay Rates
- Monday to Friday (Days) = £20.32 per hour
- Saturday (Days) = £23.81 per hour
- Sunday (Days) = £24.98 per hour
- Bank Holiday (Days) = £26.15
The rate advertised above includes 12.07% Rolled-Up Holiday Pay.
Prefer to have your holiday pay saved and paid when you take annual leave? No problem. You can choose traditional accrued holiday pay instead, in which case, the 12.07% holiday element is removed from the advertised hourly rate above, accrued separately, and paid to you when you take annual leave.
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.
