Courier Driver – Chandlers Ford

At ALS, we encourage you to dream big.

When you join us, you’ll be part of a global team harnessing the power of scientific testing and data-driven insights to build a healthier future.

About the Role

We’re looking for a reliable and punctual Courier Driver based at our Chandlers Ford site to collect samples from customer sites and ALS drop-off locations.

The successful candidate will:

  • Work Monday to Friday (11:00 – 19:30)
  • Drive a medium-wheeled van, maintaining its temperature-controlled fridge
  • Multi-task efficiently in a team-oriented environment
  • Ensure adherence to safe driving and professional standards

Contract: Full Time & Permanent Annual Salary: £13.45/hour + £2,000 location allowance Closing Date: Tuesday, 30th June 2026 Hiring Manager: Shaun Millington


The Day-to-Day Responsibilities

  • Drive safely and courteously, representing ALS brand values positively.
  • Monitor and maintain vehicle fridge temperatures at all times.
  • Build strong professional relationships with clients and team members.
  • Exhibit flexibility to adapt to unexpected delays or extra requests.
  • Accurately record van temperatures, sample consignments, and paperwork.
  • Conduct daily vehicle checks and basic maintenance (fluid top-ups, cleaning).
  • Report any client issues or operational concerns to the Transport Manager.

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.
