Job Description

Everyone has heard their family say the phrase, "I'm not your taxi driver" at some point, but what does a taxi driver's job actually involve?

Taxi drivers provide an essential service bringing holidaymakers to airports, children to school, shoppers back home and helping those with mobility problems get from A to B.

So, what will I actually be doing?

The successful applicant will be self-employed and will be provided with a fully plated taxi for which all running expenses are paid by the company including fuel, insurance etc. The driver will pay a weekly rental for the vehicle at a % of the amount they take in fares.

You will need to hold a full UK driving License for at least 1 year

Ideally you will hold a Hackney Carriage/Private Hire drivers License issued by Cornwall Council, however, for the right person we can help you with this. It is a simple process and takes around 3 to 6 weeks.

We are looking to recruit for a range of shifts:
Friday, Saturday and Sunday day AND/OR night time
Week days and evenings

Your job involves:

Keeping your vehicle clean and in good working order (no one wants to get into a broken, untidy taxi)
