If you have always wanted to become a Chauffeur or just want a change of direction, then you do a lot worse than consider a job as a Chauffeur working in London. So where do you start?
If you already have a PCO Licence, this is a significant advantage, because the process of applying for one can be quite long, often taking up to 3 months. Without a PCO Licence, you cannot work for a PCO registered company in London. If you have a good knowledge of London and you have worked as a PCO Licensed Driver, then the step to becoming a Chauffeur is a relatively small one.
However, you will almost certainly have to consider working on a casual or part-time basis, before you will be considered for a full-time role. Companies such as Cars for Stars, based in London are always looking for experienced PCO Licensed drivers or Chauffeur's and offer excellent rates of pay. Depending on experience and availability, the company will be able to offer part-time and full-time position, but like many operations offering chauffeur cars and limousine hire, the hours can be unpredictable and, therefore, Chauffeurs have to show a high degree of flexibility.
The same flexibility is needed in terms of the type of vehicle. For example, those Chauffeur's that are as willing to drive stretched limousines, as they are other chauffeur driven cars, will be provided with considerably more work, than those that wish to only drive cars.
If you already have a PCO Licence, which is current and you would like to work as a Chauffeur, you can either visit the Cars for Stars Chauffeur Jobsite or call them on 0845 500 3030. If you do not want to work as a chauffeur but are interested in other types of driving jobs, you could try the website Professional Drivers Jobs.
