Job description

Role overview

We are hiring a Service Driver for the Okehampton branch to support customers across Redruth, Cornwall, Camborne, and nearby locations. This is a hands-on field role suited to someone who enjoys driving, working independently, and delivering high-quality service to customers. Full training is provided, so previous experience is not necessary.

What the role involves

You will travel between customer sites and maintain washroom service products, which may include feminine hygiene units, nappy bins, air fresheners, soap dispensers, and floor mats. The position combines driving, physical work, and customer interaction.

  • Load and unload washroom units and floor mats at customer premises.
  • Keep the vehicle in safe working condition and drive in line with company safe-driving guidance.
  • Provide a professional, helpful service and represent the business positively at all times.

Pay, schedule, and working pattern

The role offers a basic salary of £26,655 per year. Expected earnings are £327,479 per year including bonus and commission opportunities. This is a permanent, full-time position with a Monday to Friday schedule based on a 40-hour week. There is also the possibility of moving to a 48-hour week in future, with a salary increase to match. Overtime may be available when customer demand requires it.

Benefits and extras

  • Company vehicle, fuel card, mobile phone, uniform, and RI Rewards access.
  • Potential relocation support of up to £5,000 if you are moving from more than two hours away.
  • Bonus and commission schemes, including a leads commission reward for passing on sales opportunities.
  • Opportunity to join a private healthcare scheme and the company pension plan.
  • Discounts and cashback offers from more than 3,000 retailers through RI Rewards.
  • 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme available to you, your family, and friends.
  • Long-service recognition, including an extra five days of annual leave after five years.
  • Refer-a-friend bonus of up to £1,000.
  • Salary grading linked to performance for those looking to progress.

What you need

You must hold a full UK driving licence for more than two years and have no more than six penalty points. Strong customer service and communication skills are important, along with flexibility to adapt to business needs. We are looking for someone who uses initiative, brings a positive attitude, and takes pride in their work. A DBS check may be required depending on the position.

About the employer

The company is a large global business services organisation operating in more than 90 countries. It focuses on protecting people and improving lives, with major businesses in pest control, hygiene services, and plants and scenting. The organisation invests heavily in training and development and promotes equal opportunities and a diverse workplace.

Application note

Applicants are encouraged to present their own genuine experience and motivation. While support tools can help with structure and grammar, the employer wants applications to reflect the real person behind them.
