What we look for

Three things, in this order: character — you will be in customers’ homes, so trustworthiness, politeness and care matter most. Reliability — the team needs you on time, in the right uniform, with the right kit. Physical capability — the work is heavy and stairs and awkward access are routine. Most jobs run 8 to 10 hours, 5 days per week, with 1 or 2 Saturdays per month and Sundays off except for genuine emergencies.

How our application process works

The form above takes around 10 minutes to complete. You will receive a confirmation email within 1 minute, with your application as a PDF attachment. Mark and the office team review every application within 5 working days. If your experience is a fit, we will reach out to arrange either a 30-minute phone call or an in-person visit at our Lower Dicker depot (open Monday to Friday 08:00–17:30, Saturday 09:00–13:00). Permanent and self-employed roles both follow the same process — the only difference is the contract issued at offer stage.

Training is on us

Removals experience is welcome but not required. Most of our crew arrived from completely different backgrounds — landscape gardening, warehouse work, hospitality, teaching. New starters train in-house at our Lower Dicker depot in their first 6 weeks across pad-wrap method, fragile handling, antique care, piano-lift technique, inventory paperwork and the BAR Code of Practice. Driver positions get C+E licence training funded if you don’t already hold it. Operating since 2017 with average crew tenure of 8+ years, our process is built around training people in carefully rather than churning casual labour.
