Driver Hire Leeds West is recruiting a Class 2 driver for a wholesaler based in LS13, delivering to independent retailers, caterers and businesses across the local area.
This is a Monday-to-Friday role, with a temp-to-perm position available for the right candidate. Our customer will consider a new pass if you have the right attitude, reliability, and willingness to learn.
The role
You’ll make multi-drop deliveries of food and other wholesale products, helping to check and load orders before leaving the depot and unloading at customers’ premises.
This is a hands-on delivery role involving loading and unloading stock. You’ll be speaking with customers throughout the day, so being helpful, approachable and reliable matters just as much as looking after the vehicle.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
