Recruiting Today is partnering with leading logistics, retail, and service providers in the Stratford E20 area to fill urgent Driver positions. This is not just a job; it's a critical role keeping East London moving. From multi-drop parcel delivery to scheduled collections for local businesses, our clients rely on skilled drivers to represent their brand and ensure operational success.

Whether you're an experienced HGV Driver or a Van Driver with a clean Cat B licence, we have a variety of shifts to match your availability. Our clients operate in fast-paced environments, including the bustling Stratford City and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park commercial zones, requiring punctual, safety-conscious, and customer-focused professionals. By registering with Recruiting Today, you gain access to a curated portfolio of driving work that many agencies cannot offer, thanks to our deep-rooted relationships with employers across London.

We understand the local market. Stratford is a major transport and logistics hub, and demand for reliable drivers is constant. Unlike generic job boards, we act as your advocate, matching you with roles that suit your skills and career goals. Many of our temporary driving assignments have led to long-term contracts and permanent positions for candidates who demonstrate excellence.

Core Responsibilities & Daily Duties

As a Driver placed through Recruiting Today in Stratford, your day-to-day tasks will be varied and essential. You will be the face of the client company, requiring professionalism at all times.

• Safely operating company vehicles (vans, 3.5t, or larger goods vehicles as per licence) in and around Stratford, East London, and the M25 corridor, adhering to all road traffic laws and company policies.
• Efficiently executing multi-drop delivery rounds or scheduled collections, ensuring all items are delivered/collected on time, in full, and in perfect condition. This involves careful planning of routes, often using provided satellite navigation or routing software.
• Completing all necessary paperwork and digital documentation accurately and promptly. This includes delivery notes, PODs (Proof of Delivery), vehicle defect sheets, and driver hour logs to ensure full compliance and traceability.
• Performing daily vehicle safety checks (walk-around checks) and basic maintenance reporting (e.g., tyre pressure, oil, fuel, defects) to ensure the vehicle is legally roadworthy and any issues are flagged immediately.
• Providing excellent customer service during interactions with customers, site security, and client staff. This includes handling queries professionally, assisting with unloading if required (within manual handling guidelines), and representing the client brand positively.
• Assisting with light loading/unloading and working collaboratively with warehouse teams at depots, such as those we place at our Warehouse Operative Jobs in Trafford Park client sites, ensuring a smooth handover of goods.
