HGV Class 2 Refuse Driver – Work for the Council! | Immediate Start | Worksop
Thorn Baker Industrial Recruitment is proud to be recruiting on behalf of our local council client for an experienced HGV Class 2 Refuse Driver to join their dedicated team in Worksop.
If you’re a reliable driver who takes pride in keeping communities clean and safe, this is a fantastic opportunity to secure steady, rewarding work with great hours and long-term potential.
The Role
You’ll be responsible for operating a Class 2 refuse collection vehicle while also actively assisting with waste and recycling collection.

Collect and load refuse and recycling bins across Worksop and surrounding areas.
Safely operate a Class 2 refuse vehicle in accordance with all road and safety regulations.
Work collaboratively with your crew to complete routes efficiently.
Follow all Health & Safety protocols while driving and during manual work.
Deliver excellent customer service when interacting with residents and local businesses.
What We’re Looking For
A valid Class 2 (Category C) Driving Licence
Up-to-date CPC and tachograph card.
A team-player with a flexible attitude — happy to alternate between driving and loading.
Physically fit and comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
Previous refuse collection or manual labour experience is a bonus, but not essential.
What’s in It for You
£13.93 per hour, with opportunities for pay progression over time.
Day shifts: Monday to Friday, 6am – 2:30pm – enjoy your evenings free.
Immediate start available.
Supportive team culture and full training provided.
A chance to work directly with the local council – offering stability and progression opportunities.
If you’re an experienced Class 2 Driver who enjoys working as part of a hardworking, friendly team and wants to make a difference in your local community, we want to hear from you.
Apply today and take the next step in your driving career with Thorn Baker Industrial Recruitment.
