About The Role
Driver Hire/dh Recruitment (Torbay & Barnstaple) is recruiting experienced HGV Class 2 Drivers for food delivery work based in Newton Abbot.
This is ad-hoc temporary work with ongoing shifts available, so it may suit a Category C Driver looking for flexible work, extra shifts or regular driving assignments without committing to a fixed full-time rota.
You will be delivering wholesale food products to hotels, restaurants, pubs and other hospitality venues across South Devon and the wider South West.
The work involves cage deliveries, early starts and delivering into busy hospitality locations such as kitchens, service yards, loading bays and back-of-house areas.
