Yard Shunter

Logistics done differently. Are you an HGV driver fed up with not knowing when you’re working next, or when your work will die down? Are you an experienced yard shunter looking for work in a stable industry during these strange times? If you answered yes, then look no further - XPO Logistics is recruiting!

We’re looking for a full-time, permanent Class 1 HGV Shunter Driver to join us based on our site in East Leake. Please click this link https://europejobs.xpo.com/en/ to see our current vacancies. You bring the commitment and we will provide the training.

Pay, Benefits And More.

Shifts are on a rotational basis:

  • Monday to Friday 06:00 - 16:00 £14:48 P/H.

Responsibilities

  • Loading trailers and securing goods safely
  • Working in a safe manner at all times
  • Performing trailer movements in our busy regional yard
  • Driving a Tug on-site so previous experience would be an advantage
  • All work is yard based, no road work is expected
  • You must have shunting experience as some manoeuvres are in confined spaces

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.
