Pure Staff's Driving Team are currently recruiting experienced HGV Class 1 Drivers to support one of our long-standing customers based in Newport and Barry. Immediate starts are available for reliable HGV Class 1 Drivers looking for flexible, ongoing work with a leading palletised freight distribution operation.

Our customer is one of Europe’s largest palletised freight networks, providing fast, reliable pallet distribution services throughout the UK and Europe. Working with an extensive network of transport partners, they handle millions of pallet movements each year, supporting businesses across a wide range of industries with time-critical logistics solutions.

Drivers will complete trunking runs using modern curtain-side and double-Decker trailers, transporting palletised freight between depots and distribution hubs. Shifts are available Monday to Sunday, with day shifts typically starting at 05:00 and night shifts at 19:30, averaging around 10 hours per shift. Although work is offered on an ad hoc basis, drivers who demonstrate reliability and professionalism are regularly re-booked for future shifts.

No gimmicks. No confusing pay. Just honest PAYE employment.

Some agencies advertise confusing umbrella assignment rates that include employer on-costs within the advertised rate. Others use outsourced payroll companies that can add unnecessary complexity and leave drivers unsure who is actually paying them. Some even include holiday pay within the hourly rate without making it clear.

At Pure Staff, we believe in keeping things simple, transparent and compliant:

• You are employed directly by Pure Staff
• 100% PAYE
  - No umbrella companies
  - No outsourced payroll companies
  - No limited company arrangements
• Weekly pay directly into your bank every Thursday night / Friday morning
• Paid by our own experienced in-house payroll team
• Paid accurately and on time (99.9% of the time), with any discrepancies investigated and corrected promptly
• No payroll processing fees
• No administration charges
• No hidden deductions or nasty surprises

We simply tell you exactly what you'll earn.

• Your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off.

We believe professional HGV Class 1 Drivers deserve proper paid annual leave. Rather than rolling your holiday pay into every hourly rate, your holiday entitlement builds up as you work and is ready to be paid when you book time off. That means when you take a well-earned break, your holiday pay is there waiting for you.

• UK Category C+E Licence
• Valid Digital Tachograph Card
• Valid Driver CPC Card
• Minimum 6 months' HGV Class 1 driving experience (12 months preferred)
• No more than 6 penalty points
• A professional, reliable and safety-conscious attitude
• Good understanding of driver hours, tachograph regulations and vehicle safety checks
