HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Haywards Heath

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

South East

Permanent drivers for Haywards Heath operators

Every permanent driver we put forward has been checked on licence, experience and what they want from the role.

Operators across the South East are served by the M25, M3, M4, M20 and M23, Gatwick Airport and the ports at Southampton, Portsmouth and Dover. Permanent drivers value routes they know and a start time that stays the same.

Class 1 trunking, Class 2 store runs and 7.5 tonne multi-drop attract different drivers. We recruit each one differently.

Employers hiring permanent drivers across the South East include grocery and retail DCs, Channel-port and customs operations, FMCG supply chains and national 3PLs.

Why Haywards Heath operators use a specialist

Drivers who stay

Matched to the shift

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

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.

Through the first weeks

We keep in touch through the notice period and the first weeks in the job, so small problems are raised before they become resignations.

Pay & benchmarking

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Haywards Heath

Indicative permanent salaries in Haywards Heath run from around £30k for 7.5t up to £45k+ for Class 1 nights and trunking.

Class 1 roles usually pay more than Class 2 and nights more than days, but local competition for drivers can move either figure. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

How a permanent search runs

The brief

Route, vehicle, shift, pay and start date, plus what made your best drivers stay.

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

The cost of a vacancy is more than the advert: overtime for other drivers, missed slots and pressure on the planners.

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 shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
