London & the South East

Recruiting permanent drivers in Mitcham

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

Driving employers across London & the South East include urban fulfilment and last-mile operators, grocery and convenience distribution, airfreight handlers and metropolitan 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

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

Hiring across London & the South East is shaped by the M25 orbital, the A13 and A406, Heathrow Airport and the deep-water ports at London Gateway and Tilbury: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Mitcham

Permanent driving and transport roles, from the cab to the transport office.

What Mitcham 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.

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.

Permanent and temporary

Permanent drivers for your payroll in Mitcham — and temporary HGV, 7.5 tonne and van cover when a seat needs filling first.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Mitcham

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

We benchmark against current offers in the area rather than last year's averages. 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.

The shortlist

A short list of drivers who fit, each with notes on licence, experience and availability.

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.

A realistic job description helps retention. We write the advert around the actual shift, not the best week of the year.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The vehicles and the age of the fleet
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Common questions

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 help set the salary?

Yes. We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime for the role so your offer is competitive before the vacancy goes out.

I am a driver. How do I find a permanent role?

Upload your CV and tell us your licence, your area and the shift pattern you want. We contact you when a permanent role fits.
