The COVID-19 pandemic has lead to an enormous and unprecedented upsurge in demand for parcel delivery services. VR Recruitment in Hamilton have 2 customers, Yodel and DPD, and they are in desperate need of “as many staff as possible” over the coming 3 weeks.
Realistically, they require 100 staff to start immediately across their sites in Cambuslang, Eurocentral, Bellshill, Cumbernauld and Livingston.
Staff can be given an immediate start, and a rota, booked 6 weeks in advance. This is NOT a Christmas contract.
Positions available are:
Parcel Sort Operatives
Minimum 20 additional staff. Must be able to do Early morning (circa 02:00am starts or afternoon shifts. Will be working as part of a parcel sort operation, lots of heavy lifting and working to a fast pace and often to tight deadlines.
Paid £9.90p/h. Weekly pay.
Van Drivers
Specifically need parcel delivery drivers who can work at either Bellshill or Livingston.
Staff need to be willing and able to deliver 50 to 60 parcels per day. Very little training and guidance is provided although if they’ve done any sort of delivery work it will be pretty easy to pick up.
£10.00p/h weekly pay
If interested, click the link below to apply. Applications can be turned around very quickly.

I’ve also had great success working with your colleague Neil Bell in Dundee for the DPD Dundee site there.
(As an aside, I can’t praise Neil highly enough. He is a credit to your organisation, the effort and skill he has shown on this project in Dundee has made him our go-to point of contact for all projects in the area).
The tick points candidates need to fulfil for the Warehouse Operation are;
Safety Footwear and Hiviz vest
Warm clothing
Physical Dexterity to lift and move packages up to 25kg (If in doubt, I can put candidates through an online manual handling course which again can be turned around in under an hour. It’s £50+VAT. It’s not essential, but if you have people who are on the fence or phasing back to work after a period out of work I’d recommend it)
Means of Transport to Yodel Bellshill (ML43NR), DPD Eurocentral (ML1 4XL), DPD Cumbernauld (G69 9NB), DPD Cambuslang (G32 8FA), Yodel Livingston (EH54 5DL). Baring in mind public transport is not the best at that time of the morning
For Yodel Bellshill I have an immediate requirement for 10 staff starting tonight (02/12/2020) at 22:00pm. They’ll be out 5 nights per week every week. Can provide the candidates with a rota
Any questions give me call. I’ll be here all day
