About the Role
We are looking for a courier driver who will provide cover for planned and unplanned absence in the team. The ESHT Couriers provide an essential service collecting and delivering items to health care centres in East Sussex. The Trust operates 10 courier rounds. These rounds each have fixed schedules with 8 hour days, including a 30 minute break. Round start times currently range from 0600 to 11:30, and finish times range from 1400 to 19:30. Applicants will need to be able to work flexible hours, covering rounds as needed. Typically advance notice is given of work times, but occasionally short term changes to work times may be needed.
Requirements
We are looking for individuals with a good deal of driving experience, a clean driving licence and a good geographical knowledge of East Sussex to join our team.
The successful candidates will have several years of driving experience, commercial or otherwise, and have driven vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes. Applicants are required to have the ability to use own initiative, and have excellent communication skills both verbal and written.
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.
Benefits
A wide range of staff benefits are available to our staff including staff development, enrolment in the NHS pension scheme, auto-enrolment to our Temporary Workforce Service, access to onsite nurseries, staff restaurants and accommodation.
In addition to an internal Occupational Health department, all staff also have access to free psychological support through our confidential Employee Assistance Programme. Onsite parking is available from only £50 a year.

We value the individuality that each candidate brings to the application process. While we understand that AI tools are widely available, we strongly discourage applicants from using AI-generated content when applying for jobs with us. We believe that your application should reflect your true skills, experiences, and motivations, which are best conveyed through your own words and unique perspective.
