This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who wants to develop their career and gain the training and experience needed to become a qualified LGV Driver, while enjoying a varied, hands-on role in the yard and out on the road.
This is a busy role where you’ll help keep the branch running smoothly while working towards your LGV driving qualification.

- Working towards your LGV qualification through training and practical experience
- Learning to complete multi-drop deliveries safely and efficiently once qualified
- Providing excellent customer service at every stage, both in the branch and out on deliveries
We’re looking for someone who is reliable, positive and enjoys working as part of a team in a fast-paced environment. Most importantly, you’ll have a willingness to learn and a genuine interest in developing a career in LGV driving.
You’ll need:
- A strong focus on customer service and teamwork
- A practical, hands-on approach and a can-do attitude
- A willingness to learn, develop new skills and work towards becoming a qualified LGV Driver
- A full UK driving licence
- The ability to work safely and responsibly in a busy yard and customer-focused environment
This is a great opportunity to join a supportive team and build a long-term career with Bradfords. You’ll receive training and development to help you progress towards becoming an LGV Driver, alongside a competitive salary, great benefits and opportunities to develop your career with us.
We’re proud of our values — Commitment, Care, Consistency and Innovation — and the way we work together to deliver for our customers.
