East Midlands

Recruiting permanent drivers in Mansfield

We look for drivers who want the job you are offering, not just any job with a licence attached.

Permanent vacancies across the East Midlands come from national distribution centres, airfreight and express operators, e-commerce fulfilment and contract logistics. Each wants drivers who will still be on the rota in a year.

If Mansfield 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 East Midlands is shaped by the M1, A14, A42 and A50, East Midlands Airport's major air-freight hub and DIRFT's rail terminal: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Mansfield

From 7.5 tonne multi-drop to Class 1 trunking and the team leaders around them.

What Mansfield 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

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Mansfield

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

A clear, competitive offer shortens the search. We give you a current read on pay for the role before the vacancy goes live. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

From brief to start date

Screening

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

Interviews and assessment drives

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

The offer

We help agree pay, start date and notice period so the offer is accepted first time.

Your brief

Before we start searching

For Mansfield operators with regular routes, a permanent driver brings the consistency customers notice.

Notice periods for drivers are often short, so a good offer can move quickly. We keep the process tight.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
