Where will you be working?
Your main patch will be Wakefield and surrounding areas, though you may occasionally travel across Yorkshire.
What’s in it for you?
- £33,814.22 per year based on a 37.5‑hour week, plus opportunities for overtime and call-out pay
- 26 days annual leave (rising each year to 31), plus Bank Holidays, and the option to buy or sell leave
- A fantastic pension scheme—we’ll match your contributions up to 9%
- A company van and fuel card (for work use only), so you’ll need a valid driving licence

- Thousands of retail discounts through Perkbox
Who are we looking for?
