About the role
Removals Operative — Leeds and West Yorkshire. Self-employed profit-share role, not a wage. You keep 30% of every job KJ Removals routes to you. We survey, price and confirm with the customer; you turn up to a booked, priced move. You'll be sent to domestic house removals, part-loads, packing days, small office relocations, and storage runs to the KJ partner storage unit. Most moves are 1-day jobs; larger family moves run into a second day. Jobs are dispatched via the KJ portal with the survey notes, inventory, vehicle allocation, parking permit and delivery contact confirmed. Tickets vary widely (£350 small move up to £2,500+ for a large 4-bed with packing). Suits an experienced removals operative — physically fit, careful with customer belongings, comfortable driving up to 7.5t. Not for casual labour — this is trusted access to a customer's home and possessions.

- Load and unload vans safely and efficiently, protecting floors and door frames
- Pack cartons, wardrobes, glassware and fragile items to a professional standard
- Dismantle and reassemble common furniture (beds, wardrobes, tables)

- Handle customer inventory paperwork per the KJ process
- Communicate clearly with the customer through the move
- Photo-document any pre-existing damage before loading
- Keep the vehicle clean and the equipment (trolleys, blankets, straps) accounted for
Requirements
- Full UK driving licence — C1 (7.5t) a strong plus
- Right to work in the UK
- Physically fit and comfortable with a full day of manual handling
- Public liability insurance
- Smartphone for the KJ portal
- Trustworthy, respectful manner in customer homes

Do the work, get paid your share
Complete the job, mark it done in the portal. KJ invoices the customer. Your share lands on the regular payment cycle — no chasing, no unpaid quotes.
The KJ Portal is rolling out through 2026 — until then, early hires are onboarded and dispatched directly by the KJ ops team. Same profit-share, same transparency.
Why KJ, not a company job
A plumber does 3–4 jobs a day; a surveyor 2–4; a solicitor a handful of matters. The client pays hundreds — often thousands. You take home a fraction. The company keeps the rest.
