HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Broadstairs

Permanent HGV and LGV drivers for operators in Broadstairs, recruited onto your payroll for a fixed shift and a depot they can plan a life around.

South East

Permanent drivers for Broadstairs operators

Good drivers are rarely out of work, so the search reaches beyond people who happen to be looking this week.

Much of the permanent driving work across the South East starts at the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

If Broadstairs is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Hiring across the South East is shaped by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Why Broadstairs operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Licence and CPC checked

Licence categories, endorsements, Driver CPC status and the tachograph card are confirmed before a driver reaches your shortlist.

Matched to the shift

Nights, earlies, weekends or tramping: the shift pattern decides whether a driver stays, so it comes first in the match.

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Broadstairs goes to someone who can get there every day.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

Screening

Licence, endorsements, Driver CPC, tachograph card and right to work checked, then a conversation about the job itself.

After the start

We check in during the first weeks so any early problem is raised and resolved.

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Permanent hiring suits steady, year-round work. Temporary cover suits peaks and gaps. Many operators use both.

We ask candidates why they left their last role. The answer tells us whether your job will keep them.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement

Driver FAQs

Permanent drivers in Broadstairs — FAQs

Which licence categories do you recruit for?

Category C+E (Class 1), Category C (Class 2) and C1 (7.5 tonne), plus drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets.

How do you check drivers before we meet them?

We confirm licence categories and endorsements, Driver CPC status, the digital tachograph card and right to work, then talk to each driver about the job.

How long does a permanent driver search take?

It depends on the licence, the shift pattern and the local market. We give you a realistic view at the start, before the search begins.

Do you recruit drivers with ADR or HIAB tickets?

Yes. Tell us the ticket and the type of loads so we look for drivers who hold it and have used it.

What makes a permanent driver stay?

A settled shift, a depot they can reach easily, a well-kept vehicle and pay that matches the local market. We recruit around all four.
