Trainee Class 2 Driver
Location: Basingstoke
Shifts: 43 hours per week
Salary: £684.70 per week (rising to £866.38 per week upon completion and move into Class 2 position)
Do you have your class B car licence with the desire to further your career and gain your Class 2 licence, with all of the costs of your training and licence taken care of?
Essential Ingredients
- Full current UK Driving Licence with no more than 6 points
- Good knowledge of transport legislation
- Reliability, responsibility, and being customer focused
- Experience working in a fast-paced environment, ideally with multi-drop or home delivery experience and ideally previous experience of picking orders
The Recipe
- Be supported by the driver training teams in an intensive training course to gain your Class 2 Licence, with no cost to you.
- Ongoing fully funded Driver CPC (Your Driver CPC training is in work hours too, not outside of them)
- Be an early riser. Your shift will start at around 3.30am, so it’s an early start, but your afternoons will be your own.
- Enjoy plenty of autonomy. As a driver you’ll be given delivery notes (or an electronic device), from which you’ll accurately pick the orders (either prior to leaving or out on your route) and load your vehicle with bakery products.
- Work set contracted hours and have stable shift patterns. That’s 43 hours a week, working a rotating 5 days including weekends, although a typical week can be less than that. All of which will hopefully help you to plan your life around work more easily.
