LGV / HGV Class 1 Drivers

Pertemps are working in partnership with Royal Mail to recruit flexible, professional LGV C+E drivers who are willing to relocate for a minimum of 6 weeks to help deliver the forthcoming busy Christmas period.

LGV Class 1 Drivers will be required to trunk both mail and parcels around the Royal Mail network. You will be working to tight schedules, with measured and monitored running times whilst maintaining the highest levels of safety throughout.

This is a vital role within Royal Mail and all Drivers are required to be flexible to work all requested shifts within contract duration. 

The project starts from 2nd November 2026 running through until 4th January 2027.

You must work Christmas Eve, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, and weekends as part of the normal week.

Drivers will be expected to complete a Tachograph download and a driving assessment before being accepted on the project. If you have more than the specified level of infringements, you may be required to attend a 2 hour WTD refresher course. (This will be paid on commencement of the role.)

Upon successfully completing both security clearance and a driving assessment and to reward those for their willingness to relocate, HGV/ LGV/ Class 1 Drivers will receive:

• A rota based on any 5 out of 7 days with a minimum of 8 hours daily.
