What will the apprentice be doing?
The Apprenticeship Programme Overview
You will start your programme by working as a Driver’s mate, gaining valuable insight into the role of a Driver. You will then spend time in other key departments such as Customer Services and Warehouse, learning more about our business as a whole, our customers and our products. Alongside all of this, you will spend approx. ½ day each week completing course-work for your apprenticeship (this may include online learning, attending workshops, or receiving coaching from your apprenticeship tutor).
Role Duties
As part of the apprenticeship programme you will:
• Demonstrate dedication and commitment towards achieving the qualifications, adhering to the time frames given to study and balance workloads.
• Carry out all duties similar to HGV Drivers, learning safe working systems and company standards.
• Deliver a high standard of customer service to our customers.
• Ensure working practices are safe and follow company best practice standards.
• Ensure the safe loading and transportation of all goods.
• Ensure that good health and safety standards are maintained.
• Learn and become proficient in Working Time Directive and all associated HGV driving compliance standards including tachograph management, walk round checks, VOR processes.
• Adhere to all standards dictated by the Driver Handbook.
Your apprenticeship programme will be fully funded by Headlam. This includes all costs associated with your training, including medicals, driving tests, and licences.
**Apprentices will be offered a generous starting salary of £23,000. Most apprentices are ready to take their Class 2 driving test 3-6 months after joining the programme and once this test is passed, you will begin to drive your own vehicle whilst continuing to train for your Class 1 test. At this point, in recognition of your achievement, your salary will be increased to £25,000. Once your apprenticeship is completed, you will become a certified Class 2 Driver, where your salary will be adjusted to the regional salary banding. Considering that you will also have gained a Class 1 licence as part of your apprenticeship, you will also be ideally placed to progress to the role of Class 1 Driver should a position become available**
**ALL APPLICANTS MUST BE 18 YEARS OLD AND HOLD A FULL UK DRIVING LICENCE**
