A permanent driving desk for Torpoint

Permanent recruitment for driving roles is about fit as much as entitlement.

Much of the permanent driving work across Devon & Cornwall starts at the Cornwall A30 corridor and the Pool, Redruth and St Austell estates. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

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

Permanent demand across Devon & Cornwall follows food and drink and agri-food processing, marine and port logistics, tourism-driven retail distribution and regional hauliers.

Matched to the shift

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

The depot and the commute

We look at where drivers live as well as what they drive, so the role in Torpoint goes to someone who can get there every day.

How it works

Our process, step by step

The brief

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

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

Getting the brief right

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:

  • The shift pattern and how often it rotates
  • Guaranteed hours and holiday entitlement
  • The type of work: trunking, rounds, multi-drop or tramping
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
