To comply with UK law and our clients' requirements, you will need to provide: Your valid UK driving licence (showing your relevant HGV entitlements), your Driver CPC card, your digital tachograph card, and proof of your right to work in the UK (e.g., passport, biometric residence permit). We will also require references from your previous HGV driving employment. Our team will guide you through the simple document upload process via our portal.
We cater to a wide range of needs. Shift patterns commonly include: Days (4am-2pm, 6am-4pm), Nights (6pm-4am, 10pm-6am), and Tramping (multi-day out). Contracts can be temporary (short-term cover), ongoing temporary (long-term but rolling), or temp-to-perm where the client intends to take you on permanently after a successful trial period. We also have occasional weekend work. Tell your consultant your preference, and they will match you accordingly.
Pay rates are agreed upon before you start a shift and are competitive within the Bradford market, reflecting your licence class and experience. You will submit your hours via a timesheet (digital or paper) each week. Our payroll team processes this, and you will be paid every week, directly into your bank account. Payment is made via PAYE (so tax and NI are deducted) or through an approved Umbrella company if you choose that route. There are no hidden fees.
Absolutely. Recruiting Today has a diverse portfolio. If you're also qualified as a Forklift Driver, we have a dedicated forklift driver recruitment service. We also frequently recruit for Warehouse Operatives, Van Drivers, and Inventory Clerk positions. Furthermore, if you have skills in administration, we fill roles like Office Assistant and even specialised positions like Pharmacy Assistant. Mention your broader skills during registration.
You are never alone on assignment. Your dedicated consultant is your primary point of contact. You can call them for any issue – whether it's a problem with vehicle access at a site, a query about your timesheet, or a health and safety concern. We act as the intermediary between you and the client to resolve matters professionally and promptly.
