HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Seaford

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

South East

Permanent drivers for Seaford operators

A permanent hire should still be in the cab next year. That is the standard we recruit to.

Driving employers across the South East include retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs. Each runs a different pattern of work, so we recruit to the operation rather than to a job title.

A permanent offer competes with every other operator's. We help you set pay, shift premiums and start dates that land first time.

Across the South East, permanent driving roles cluster around freight sites such as the M3, M4 and M20 corridors and the airfreight hubs at Gatwick and Heathrow.

Why Seaford 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.

Pay that lands

We benchmark basic pay, shift premiums and overtime against the local market before the vacancy goes out.

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.

How a permanent search runs

The shortlist

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

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

Your brief

What to put in the brief

Permanent drivers become the people who train the next ones. Hiring well now makes the next hire easier.

If a role is hard to fill, we look at what is making it hard: the start time, the pay or the route. Then we tell you.

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
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job

Driver FAQs

Permanent drivers in Seaford — 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.

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.

Can you recruit several drivers at once?

Yes. For a new contract or a growing fleet we can recruit a group of permanent drivers, with start dates staggered if that helps.

Can temporary drivers cover the gap until a permanent hire starts?

Yes. Our temporary driving desk supplies HGV Class 1, Class 2, 7.5 tonne and van drivers while the permanent search runs.

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.
