Reliable HGV Drivers Wanted
We're looking for reliable HGV drivers to deliver, set up and support mobile medical units across the UK.
This is a hands-on role combining driving, Unit setup, and on-site support. You'll be trusted to represent the company and make sure each unit is ready for clinical teams to work safely.
Driving is only a small part of this role. The main focus is supporting the build, setup, and preparation of mobile medical units, so this is best suited to someone who enjoys practical, hands-on work outside the cab.
What You'll Be Doing
- Driving rigid vehicles, Side Loader and Class 1 HGVs to sites across the UK
- Positioning and setting up mobile medical units
- Supporting on-site operations and packing down at the end of deployment
- Carrying out basic vehicle checks and minor maintenance
- Keeping vehicles clean, tidy, and road-ready
- Completing driver paperwork and staying compliant with Drivers' Hours & WTD
- Site surveys for potential unit builds
- Some work will be yard-based preparing units between deployments
