Weekend Market Driver | London£18.00 per hour | Saturday & Sunday | Part-time

A small, independent food business - selling sustainably farmed trout at some of London's best farmers' markets - is looking for a reliable, self-sufficient driver to manage market logistics from start to finish.

This isn't a job where someone will be looking over your shoulder. You'll collect the van from our West London depot, deliver kit - chillers, gazebos, tables and stall equipment - to up to five markets across London, and collect it all again at the end of the day. The stallholders set up and run their own stands; your job is getting the equipment there and back, reliably and on time.

What the day looks likeTwo shifts totalling around 8 - 9 hours: an early drop-off run (from around 6am) delivering kit to your assigned markets, then free time late morning, before returning in the afternoon to collect everything - finishing by 5-6pm. It's physical work - loading and unloading the same equipment across up to five stops each shift - but the day isn't one long continuous stretch.

What we're looking for- Full UK driving licence and confidence navigating London in a van- Professional driving experience preferred- Own way to and from our West London depot- Reliable, calm under pressure, and happy working independently- A practical person who takes pride in doing things properly

What's on offer- £18 per hour for all hours worked- Real autonomy - you own the logistics of the day- A small, supportive team behind you- Potential for additional market days as the business grows
