South East

Recruiting permanent drivers in Faversham

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

From port and Channel freight to retail distribution, employers around Faversham compete hard for experienced permanent people. Across the South East, permanent drivers work out of sites such as the Solent ports and the M27 corridor estates. The right hire usually lives within a sensible commute of the depot.

Hiring for a new contract? We can recruit several permanent drivers to start in stages, with temporary cover bridging any gap.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Faversham

Drivers for every licence category, plus the people who train and lead them.

What Faversham employers get

Matched on the job, not just the licence

Retention first

We ask drivers what would make them stay before we ask whether they can start, so the people we shortlist want this job, not just a job.

Assessment drives arranged

Where you run an assessment drive, we build it into the interview process so candidates know what to expect.

Fewer, better interviews

You see a short list of drivers who fit the route, the vehicle and the pattern, rather than a stack of CVs.

What drivers earn

How it works

From brief to start date

The search

Drivers who are looking and drivers who are not, approached with the details that matter to them.

Interviews and assessment drives

We arrange the interviews and any assessment drive, then brief each driver beforehand.

The start

Induction dates, the first shift and who to report to, confirmed with the driver in advance.

Your brief

Before we start searching

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
