HGV & LGV Driver Recruitment in Worthing

Settled, permanent driving roles for career drivers and reliable permanent hires for Worthing transport managers.

South East

Hiring drivers for good in Worthing

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

Much of the permanent driving work across the South East starts at the parks along the M25, M20 and M23 and the Solent ports. We search for drivers who already know that geography.

If Worthing is a hard place to hire, we widen the search to drivers who could realistically commute and tell you plainly what the shortlist is likely to look like.

Permanent demand across the South East follows retail and grocery distribution, port and Channel logistics, aerospace and FMCG supply chains and regional 3PLs.

Permanent driving jobs matched to licence, shift and route.

Our approach in Worthing

Right driver, right shift, right depot

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.

Pay that lands

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

Permanent and temporary

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

Pay, clearly

What HGV & LGV drivers earn in Worthing

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

If your offer sits below the local market, we will say so before you interview anyone. Figures are indicative, not a guarantee.

How it works

Brief, search, shortlist

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.

The start

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

Your brief

The brief that works

Where the work is steady, a permanent hire can cost less over a year than rolling temporary cover and gives customers a familiar face.

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 depot address and where drivers start and finish
  • Basic pay, shift premiums and overtime rates
  • Your interview and assessment drive process
  • The start date and how many drivers you need
