Hiring People is recruiting on behalf of established and growing logistics partners for reliable, motivated and professional self-employed Multi-Drop Delivery Drivers across Essex and Kent.

Whether you have previous multi-drop delivery experience or are looking to enter the industry, training and support will be provided to help you get started.

• Some opportunities may involve a daily vehicle and fuel contribution of approximately £8–£8.50.
• Paid training and induction provided before starting work.
• Performance-related bonuses and potential referral incentives, depending on the opportunity.
• Opportunities for ongoing work with established logistics partners.
• Work available across Essex, Thurrock and Kent, including North Kent.
• A supportive recruitment and onboarding process through Hiring People.
• Minimum availability of four days per week, with some opportunities offering five to six days.
• Typical start time of 11am, with shifts lasting approximately nine hours, depending on the route and assignment.
• Availability to work at least one weekend day per week is required.

The Role – What You'll Do

As a Multi-Drop Delivery Driver, your responsibilities will include:

• Loading, scanning and organising parcels before departure.
• Following pre-planned delivery routes using a delivery app.
• Delivering parcels safely, efficiently and within the required timeframes.
• Providing excellent customer service and maintaining a professional attitude.
• Managing your time effectively and following delivery procedures.
• Handling parcels carefully, with individual parcels weighing up to approximately 23kg.
• Representing the logistics partner professionally while working independently on the road.

What We're Looking For

To be considered for these opportunities, you will need:

• A full UK driving licence held for at least 12 months.
• A manual or automatic driving licence.
• No more than six penalty points on your licence.
• No DR, DG, CD, TT or IN related endorsements
• To be aged 21 or over for insurance purposes.
• The ability to lift and handle parcels safely.
• Good communication, organisation and time-management skills.
• A reliable, positive attitude and a strong work ethic.
• The ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
• Basic spoken English to communicate effectively with customers and colleagues.
• The right to work in the UK.
• The ability to complete any required background checks and meet the relevant insurance criteria.

Previous van driving or multi-drop delivery experience is advantageous, but opportunities may be available for candidates without previous delivery experience.

Certain driving endorsements or convictions may affect eligibility, depending on the requirements of the individual opportunity and its insurer.

Working Arrangements

These are self-employed contractor opportunities, not PAYE employment positions. Drivers will be responsible for meeting their self-employed obligations.

Working days, route allocation, vehicle arrangements, fuel costs, insurance contributions, bonuses and final daily rates will depend on the specific opportunity.

Full details will be discussed during the recruitment process before you proceed.
