GB Liners Ltd are currently seeking removal operatives to fill full-time vacancies based at our Southall depot. We are looking for applicants of good character, physically fit and smartly presented. Ideal candidates will need to be cheerful and hard working. A full clean driving licence essential. A class 2 HGV licence would be an added bonus. A valid passport is needed should you wish to get involved in the European moving side of the business. Previous removals experience is preferable, but not essential, as full training will be provided at our in-house training centre.

You will be required to pack boxes, wrap furniture and move household goods and personal effects. It is a physically demanding role.

Hours of work each day are varied according to work volumes, and there will likely be nights away from home and travelling around the country. However, if you are looking to work as part of a team where every day is different, then this could be the job for you. You will be required to report to our West London depot each morning but your job on the day may be anywhere across London, or even further afield.

There is scope for progression within the company, with many of our long serving team leader's having started as a porter and have been promoted up through the ranks to a full HGV licence, and running their own removal jobs every day. We are looking to invest in our staff and fund them through their HGV training.

Pay varies depending on what level of driving licence you hold. The advertised salary is for work on your guaranteed 45 hours Monday - Friday, with Saturday overtime paid at 1.5 x your standard rate. There are also options for full time staff to undergo additional training in more complex areas of the removal business, thus raising their hourly rate. A yearly performance bonus is offered in the Spring of each year, and staff also have the option to join the company share scheme.

Company sick pay, additional holiday, life insurance and private medical insurance are offered to all staff once they reach the qualifying period of employment.
