Ready to kickstart your driving career? Join us as a Trainee Driver at The Sofa Delivery Company, where you'll embark on our in‑house Driving School programme! During your first 12 weeks, you'll drive a 3.5‑ton van while we prepare you to upgrade to your 7.5‑ton driving licence. We cover the costs of training, medical assessments and provide time off for theory & hazard tests and driver training.

Once you complete your training and pass the necessary tests, you'll be promoted to a 7.5T Driver role, with a matching pay increase. With our 4‑on, 4‑off shift pattern (7 am–7 pm), you’ll enjoy plenty of downtime to relax, recharge and enjoy life outside of work.
