Pure Staff are currently recruiting for experienced HGV Class 1 Driver to work with one of our long-standing clients based in Hereford. This is an excellent opportunity for professional and reliable drivers looking for ongoing work with flexible working patterns and competitive rates of pay.
We understand that every driver is different. Whether you're looking for day shifts, night shifts, weekends only, a fixed rota, or work that fits around your lifestyle, our client can accommodate a wide range of availability and working preferences.

- Complete between 1 and 3 deliveries or collections per shift.
