- A full, valid UK driving licence (Category B) with a maximum of 3 penalty points. A clean driving record is highly advantageous.
- Proven experience as a Delivery Driver, courier, or in a similar multi-drop driving role. Experience with 3.5-tonne vans is preferred.
- Excellent knowledge of the local Barnsley, South Yorkshire, and wider Northern road networks, with strong navigational skills using both traditional maps and sat-nav/digital apps.
- A professional, polite demeanour, a strong work ethic, and the physical capability to manually handle parcels and goods of varying sizes and weights throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Delivery Driver job in Barnsley?
We specialise in immediate starts. Once you pass our quick registration and compliance checks (which includes verifying your driving licence and right to work), we can often place you with a client within 24-48 hours. The"ASAP Start" label means we have a client ready and waiting for a reliable driver.
Do I need my own van for this role?
No, for this specific advertised role, the vehicle is provided by the employer. You simply need a valid Category B (car) licence. Some of our other courier roles may require you to use your own vehicle, which would be clearly stated and would include a fuel allowance.
What is the difference between temporary and temp-to-perm?
A temporary role has a fixed end date or is ongoing but with no permanent guarantee. Temp-to-perm (or temp-to-permanent) is a trial period where you work temporarily for a client, often for 8-12 weeks, after which they may offer you a permanent contract based on your performance. This role has a strong temp-to-perm potential.
I have a Class 2 (C) HGV licence. Do you have any relevant jobs?
Absolutely. While this page focuses on Category B driving, we consistently recruit for HGV Class 1 and Class 2 drivers across Yorkshire. Registering with us for this role will ensure our consultants are aware of your higher qualifications and can match you with appropriate HGV Driver positions as soon as they arise. Check the table above for a current example.
What support does Workers Direct provide once I'm in a role?
Your dedicated consultant is your main point of contact for any queries regarding pay, hours, or the role itself. We handle your timesheets and payroll, and we're here to resolve any issues that may arise. We also perform regular check-ins to ensure you're happy in your placement. For more on how we support our temps, see our resource on turning temp work into a permanent career.
Are there other job types available in Barnsley besides driving?
Yes, Workers Direct is a multi-sector agency. We regularly place candidates in Warehouse Operative, Cleaner, Security Guard, and general labour roles in the Barnsley area. If you're open to different types of work, let your consultant know. You can explore some of these options on our dedicated pages for warehouse jobs or cleaning jobs in Sheffield.
