From a single antique pine wardrobe to a home in every corner of the country, The Cotswold Company has spent over two decades bringing well-made furniture into people's lives. Every piece we sell carries our signature 15-year guarantee — and it's our home delivery drivers who carry that promise the last mile, onto the drive and through the front door.
We're looking for a Class 1 HGV Driver to join our in-house delivery division. You'll be a brand ambassador on the road, trusted to move our furniture, palletised goods and cage deliveries between depots and to our customers, in the best possible condition, every time.
- Trunk stock safely and efficiently between our home delivery depots, keeping to your shift plan and completing all required shunts on time.
- Carry out accurate daily vehicle defect checks before every shift, and report anything you find to your line manager promptly.
- Complete your weekly tachograph and vehicle downloads, and work within Working Time Directive and driving-time guidelines at all times.
- Drive safely, responsibly and within the law — always.
- Represent Cotswold Co. and your team well, championing equal opportunities, diversity and great customer care in everything you do.
- Take an active part in your performance and development reviews, and keep your health & safety knowledge current.
- A valid Class 1 / C+E / HGV1 licence and current driver CPC.
- At least a year's experience driving Class 1, with digital tachograph experience.
- Good knowledge of driver hours and Working Time Directive regulations.
- A good geographical knowledge of the UK.
- No more than 3 points on your licence.
- Smart, presentable, and a strong team player who's equally happy working on your own initiative.
- Real attention to detail and pride in getting every delivery right first time.
- Good reading and writing ability.
- Well organised, with a sharp eye for detail.
- Outstanding communication and customer service skills.
We're a B Corp certified, employee-and-planet-minded business, proud of the way we work as much as what we make. Join us and you'll be part of a close-knit delivery team that takes real pride in getting things right — living our four values of Lead with Care, Inspire Possibility, Focus on Impact and Endure with Purpose in everything we do.
