11 Austin Boulevard, Sunderland, Tyne & Wear, SR5 2AL
In its industrial past, Tyne and Wear had a huge demand for drivers capable of distributing raw materials and goods from its remote and isolated location to the rest of the country and beyond to Europe. Despite the disappearance of the mining industry in the region, there is still a significant need for drivers, as can be expected of the UK’s sixth largest conurbation.
There are three major bus networks functioning within Tyne and Wear – Arriva North East, Go North East and Stagecoach North East – each regularly advertising for drivers with the appropriate qualifications. And with a comprehensive Metro network functioning between North Tyneside, Newcastle and Sunderland, it isn’t just the road that creates a requirement for reliable driving staff.
Other sources of jobs that can be found on recruitment agency websites include positions with regional newspapers The Journal and The Chronicle, part of the Trinity Mirror group, and the global manufacturing businesses within the region. This includes Nissan in Sunderland and Rolls Royce in Newcastle. Although much diminished in recent times, the port at North Shields, which receives shipping traffic from Scandinavia and other parts of Northern Europe, also still plays an important role in bringing materials and goods into the UK on lorries, vans and cars.
A career in driving in the Tyne and Wear region offers job applicants the national average for drivers salaries - roughly £23,000 a year.
