HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Worcester

Permanent driver recruitment for Worcester employers who want drivers that stay: matched on route, shift pattern and vehicle as well as licence.

West Midlands

HGV and LGV hiring across Worcester

Permanent driver recruitment starts with the shift, the vehicle and the depot, because those are what decide whether a driver stays.

Much of the permanent driving work across the West Midlands starts at Hams Hall, Birch Coppice, Prologis Park Midpoint and the i54. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

Night trunks, early store deliveries and weekend work each suit a different kind of driver. The shift pattern is the first thing we ask about.

Hiring across the West Midlands is shaped by the M6, M5, M42 and M40, Birmingham Airport and strong rail-freight connections: drivers weigh the commute and the routes as much as the pay.

The roles we cover

Permanent roles on the driving desk

Permanent roles across every licence category.

Why a specialist driver desk

Built for retention

Matched to the shift

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

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.

Salaries in the area

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Worcester

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

Basic rate is only part of the offer. Drivers compare shift premiums, overtime rates, guaranteed hours and the age of the fleet. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Our recruitment process

The brief

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

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.

Your brief

Your hiring brief

A permanent driver learns your routes, your customers and your yard. That knowledge is worth more every month they stay.

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