Driver/Loader

Hours: Monday – Friday, 42.75 hours per week plus occasional overtime

Salary: £14p/h

We are looking for a reliable, personable, and detail-focused Driver/Loader to join our team collecting televisions and electrical waste (WEEE) from council-operated Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) across the West Midlands.

This is a hands-on role combining driving, manual handling, and administrative accuracy.

You'll be working on council sites, so a professional manner and good working relationship with site staff is essential.

You'll also be responsible for completing waste consignment documentation accurately at the point of collection, and reporting collection activity back to head office daily.

Recycling Lives Services is not a typical recycling company.

Since 2008, the business has been structurally built around social value, employing people from disadvantaged backgrounds, partnering with the justice system to reduce reoffending, and delivering environmental excellence at scale.

The social mission is not a layer added on top of commercial activity.

It is the reason the business operates in the way it does.

As a certified B Corp (scoring 103.5 against a business median of 50.9), Recycling Lives Services generated £42.9m in social value in 2024, achieved a 61% reduction in CO2 emissions, and diverted 97% of waste from landfill. 15% of our team have been welcomed through our rehabilitation programmes, and only 6% of people we support reoffend — compared to a national average of over 25%.

We operate UK-wide across construction, manufacturing, retail, utilities and public sector markets, offering total waste management, WEEE recycling, and specialist hazardous waste services.

Our customers choose us because we deliver commercial excellence and meaningful social impact in the same contract.
