Managing driver availability, shift bookings, and rota planning

Accurately processing payroll data and validating driver hours

Handling driver queries, absences, holiday requests, and shift changes

Ensuring compliance with transport legislation, client requirements, and recruitment best practice

Building and maintaining strong relationships with both clients and drivers

Proactively addressing staffing challenges and sourcing solutions to meet operational demands

Supporting out-of-hours requirements when necessary to ensure service continuity

Performance management and service delivery

Problem-solving and operational decision-making

We actively encourage career progression and offer clear development pathways for those looking to advance their careers within recruitment and account management.

What We Need From You

We're committed to helping you succeed, but to thrive in this role you'll need:

The ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities and solve problems effectively

A customer-focused approach with a genuine passion for people

Experience within recruitment, transport, logistics, driving operations, or a customer service environment (preferred but not essential)

Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills

A keen eye for detail, particularly when handling compliance documentation
