Job Overview
Pure Staff's Driving Team is recruiting HGV Class 1 Drivers in Avonmouth to work with one of the UK's largest and longest-established logistics businesses, completing trunking and store deliveries for a major national retail contract. This role involves consistent afternoon start times between 12:00 and 16:00, with shifts averaging approximately 10 hours. The work includes a mixture of trunking and retail store deliveries with no handball involved. There is also consistent weekend work available for drivers who want it.
Pay Details
- Monday to Friday: £16.50 per hour + £17.50 daily shift allowance (equivalent £18.25 per hour)

Holiday pay is accrued separately and paid when you take annual leave. You'll be paid weekly, every Thursday night / Friday morning, directly through Pure Staff's in-house PAYE payroll.
Your Typical Working Day

Load security is a critical requirement of this assignment. Drivers must correctly strap and contain their loads and complete all necessary checks before moving off the bay or taking a trailer. Failure to follow the site's load-security procedures may result in immediate removal from the assignment.
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.
Flexible Working Patterns
Although there is consistent Monday-to-Friday work available, you don't necessarily have to work a traditional Monday-to-Friday pattern. Weekend shifts are optional but are available quite consistently, with enhanced rates of £21.00 per hour on Saturdays and £22.34 per hour on Sundays and Bank Holidays. This means the assignment can also suit drivers who prefer to work Saturday and/or Sunday and take one or two days off during the week. Speak to our Driving Team about the days you're looking to work and we'll discuss the available patterns with you.
