Places to find car- and van- driving jobs in Devon?
Asked by arath_da'oth
A good friend of mine (he is currently unemployed) is looking for work as a car or van driver in the Devon area. Other than the jobcentre, and the local paper, can you suggest any good websites or employment agencies covering the area that he might contact? (and of course if you KNOW of any driving jobs.... that would be superb too). Relevant replies only, NO scams or get rich quick schemes. Thanks.

Best Answer:
Any van-driving jobs are also likely to involve heavy lifting. My husband used to work driving a delivery van for a Ford dealer, and some of the parts were really heavy. I suggest your friend contacts relevant companies direct. Devon is a big country, and you do not say whereabouts he is, or if he can drive lorries. There may be more work there, with milk tankers, or other delivery lorries. I know Tesco usually contract out driving work (have a friend who does it) so he would need to find out who was the local contractor organising the transport. Another idea may be to contact taxi firms, local garages, undertakers, the agents for big landed estates, any of whom may need chauffeurs. I don't know personally of any employment websites (have never had the need), and not knowing where he wants to work can't suggest any agencies. If he gets on the BT telephone enquiries website, and plays around with the search criteria, it may give him some agency names in his chosen area, or other firms involved in motoring.
