Who we place

Permanent driving jobs in Whitefield

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

What Whitefield 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.

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 Whitefield goes to someone who can get there every day.

What drivers earn

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Whitefield

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

Drivers who leave early often cite the rota, the depot or the vehicle. We raise all three in the first conversation.

A strong permanent driver brief covers:

  • The depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • The licence category and any tickets such as ADR or HIAB
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • What your longest-serving drivers like about the job
