Job Description
£41,159 per annum plus bonus & a great range of benefits
Typical working pattern of 4 to 6 days per week on a rotating schedule.
Starts between 05:00 and 12pm depending on the assigned route- 45 hours a week
A mixture of trunking routes and bulk delivery work
With Brakes, there’ll be no stopping you. We’re a market leader and one of the UK’s largest and most well-known food providers. In our Warrington depot, we’ve got a new leadership team and a clear determination to be the best we can be. To achieve our aims, we’re investing time and money in our drivers. So join us as an HGV Class 1 driver and take our depot, and your career, to new heights.
About the role
You’ll be delivering products in bulk to a number of our depots where you may need to assist with loading and unloading your vehicle at sites. You will be required to do some bulk work as part of the rota. This is customer facing delivering directly into our customer premises. Your Brakes journey will start with an induction including time on the road with another driver whilst you are understanding the role. Our ongoing coaching means you can develop at your own pace. Where could you go with Brakes? With pathways in everything from fleet management to planning and leadership roles, it’s up to you.
About you
You will be a qualified HGV Driver with solid previous experience of driving class 1 vehicles in a similar role. While you will be out on the road on your own, you’ll still need to have strong teamwork skills to liaise with the wider distribution team.
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.
