Driver jobs across London
Our network handles journeys across south west London, Surrey and beyond, with demand every day of the week. We are always interested in hearing from good drivers who want steady, well-organised work. Whether you are looking for full-time hours or want to fit driving around family life, there is a pattern of work that can suit you.
School run driver jobs
School transport is one of the most dependable kinds of driving work. Routes are planned ahead, the same pupils travel at the same times each day, and work follows the school calendar. School run driver jobs usually involve:
- morning collections from home, typically between 7am and 9am
- afternoon pickups from school, typically between 2.30pm and 4.30pm
- the same daily route for a term, so you get to know the families and the schools
- occasional extra journeys for clubs, trips and exam days
Many of our school run drivers combine these two daily windows with airport transfers or local work in the middle of the day.
Student transportation
As well as primary and secondary school runs, there is demand for student transport: pupils travelling to special educational needs settings, college students with regular timetables, and university students moving in and out of halls at the start and end of term. These journeys need patience, punctuality and a calm, professional manner.
Daily routes and working hours
Our work is organised around fixed routes and pre-booked journeys rather than waiting for random jobs. You can expect:
- Regular routes: school and student runs follow a set timetable.
- Flexible blocks: choose mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends or a mix.
- Airport and station work: pre-booked transfers to Heathrow, Gatwick and London stations, often early or late.
- Local journeys: short trips across Chessington, Kingston, Surbiton and Epsom.
What we look for in drivers
- a full UK driving licence and a good driving record
- a calm, polite manner with passengers of all ages
- punctuality and reliability, especially for school work
- good knowledge of south west London and Surrey roads, or a willingness to learn
- the right to work in the UK
Drivers carrying school pupils will be asked to complete the background checks required for that work.
