HGV Class 1 Night Driver - Newport
Start Date: Immediate Start Available
Pure Staff are currently recruiting for an experienced HGV Class 1 Night Driver to work with one of our valued clients based in Newport. This is an excellent opportunity for a reliable and professional driver looking for ongoing night shifts, competitive pay, and a supportive working environment.
Pure Staff specialise in the recruitment of HGV Drivers for the logistics, distribution, and supply chain sectors. We work with clients across England, Wales, and Scotland, offering driving opportunities that suit your skills, experience, and lifestyle.
The Role

Drivers can expect to complete between 3 and 12 drops per shift, using a pump truck where required. Average shift lengths are between 10 and 12 hours, with start times typically between 17:00 and 19:00.

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.
To Be Successful in This Role, You Will Need
- A valid Class 2 (Category C) Licence.
- A valid Driver CPC Qualification.
- A valid Digital Tachograph Card.
- A minimum of 6 months' Class 2 driving experience.
- No more than 6 penalty points with no TT, TS, MS, DR, or DD endorsements.
- A professional, reliable, and safety-conscious attitude.
Pay Rates
- Monday to Friday Nights: £17.50 per hour plus £2.11 per hour accrued holiday pay (equivalent to £19.61 per hour including holiday pay).
Holiday Pay
We believe professional HGV Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave. Rather than rolling your holiday pay into every hourly rate, your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off.
That means when you take a well-earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.

Your holiday pay is accrued separately and paid when you take annual leave, ensuring you're rewarded while encouraging regular time off, which we believe is essential for safety, well being, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.
