This is not a standard taxi driving position.
As a Swift Luxury Travel Chauffeur, you will be responsible for delivering a professional, discreet and first-class experience from the moment you arrive for a collection until the passenger reaches their destination.

Previous chauffeur experience is not essential.
For us, attitude, professionalism, reliability and customer service are just as important as previous industry experience.
For the right candidates, Swift Luxury Travel will provide training and guidance to help you understand the standards required of a professional luxury chauffeur.
This opportunity may be particularly suitable for individuals with experience in customer service, hospitality, aviation, executive environments or other professional client-facing roles.

Applicants who already hold a valid Private Hire Driver Licence are also encouraged to apply.

Our Standards
At Swift Luxury Travel, the experience is just as important as the vehicle.
We expect our chauffeurs to understand that the small details matter. Opening doors, assisting with luggage, arriving early, maintaining a pristine vehicle, communicating professionally and anticipating a client’s needs are all part of delivering the Swift Luxury Travel experience.
We can teach you how to become a professional chauffeur. What we are looking for first is the right attitude, reliability, professionalism and commitment to exceptional customer service.
Whether you are an experienced chauffeur, looking for a career change, or are retired or semi-retired and looking for flexible professional work, we would be pleased to hear from you.
