Driver Trainer

Is a lack of opportunities driving you round the bend?

Why not let something else drive you instead? We believe in pursuing a career that offers fulfilment and growth as opposed to ‘just another job’ and we are hoping to offer that opportunity to you.

Here at GXO, we are currently looking for an enthusiastic and knowledgeable Driver Trainer to take the wheel and support our drivers in learning to operate safely and efficiently at our Greene King site in Trafford Park. If you have HGV driver training and assessment experience, don’t keep it to yourself, share it with us!

You’ll also have access to our MyBenefits platform offering a variety of high street discounts, a cycle to work scheme, cashback cards, a saving scheme and much more!

• Assess candidates’ driving capability during recruitment process, and during employment
