Job Description
Temporary Staff Agency is seeking a dedicated and safety-conscious Delivery Driver to join our pool of reliable staff for assignments across the London EC3 postcode and surrounding City areas. This role is perfect for drivers who thrive in a fast-paced environment, enjoy meeting the public, and take pride in ensuring goods reach their destination securely and on schedule. You will be working on behalf of our prestigious clientele, which includes leading courier companies, retail logistics providers, and corporate supply chains that demand the highest standards of service. As a temporary driver, you will benefit from the flexibility to choose shifts that suit your lifestyle while gaining valuable experience with top-tier employers.

We handle the admin, negotiate pay rates on your behalf, and ensure you are paid accurately and on time, every week. Our deep understanding of the local logistics landscape means we can match you with roles that fit your skills and career aspirations, whether you're looking for short-term assignments or a pathway to a permanent position. For businesses looking to understand the value of a flexible workforce, our guide on Temporary Staffing Solutions for Modern Business Flexibility offers key insights.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I start this Delivery Driver job in London EC3?
We are recruiting for an immediate start. Once you complete our swift registration process, which includes a right-to-work check and a discussion about your licence and experience, we can often place you within 24-48 hours. The client's need is urgent, so we move quickly for suitable candidates.
Do I need my own vehicle for this role?
No. This is a company-provided van role. You will be driving a vehicle supplied by the client, which will be insured for business use. You are only required to have a valid UK driving licence. Some of our other courier roles may require your own vehicle, but they will be clearly advertised as such.
What are the typical shift patterns for Delivery Drivers in EC3?
Shifts vary by client but commonly start early, between 6 am and 8 am, to avoid the worst of the city's traffic and complete the first deliveries by 9 am. Shifts are typically 8-10 hours. We also have opportunities for afternoon and weekend shifts. We discuss your availability during registration to match you with suitable work.
Will I be employed by Temporary Staff Agency or the client?
For this temporary assignment, you will be employed by Temporary Staff Agency. This means we are responsible for your pay, holiday accrual, and providing you with a dedicated point of contact. It also gives you the flexibility to try different roles with different clients through us. For some temp-to-perm positions, you may later transfer to the client's direct payroll.
What support do you offer drivers on assignment?
Full support. You will have a named consultant available via phone and email to handle any issues, from querying a timesheet to reporting a problem at a client site. We conduct regular check-ins to ensure you are happy and performing well. Our goal is to make your experience as smooth and positive as possible.
I have 9 points on my licence. Can I still apply?
Unfortunately, for this particular client and for most commercial driving insurance policies, the maximum allowable penalty points is 6. However, we may have other non-driving temporary roles available. We encourage you to contact us to discuss your specific situation and explore all options.
