Role Responsibility

We currently have a number of opportunities for Courier - Multi Drop Drivers to join our team and be a part of our continued success. As a Courier you will be at the very heart of our operation. Your primary responsibility will be to drive a car-sized, easily manoeuvrable vehicle to collect and deliver small quantities of cash to and from our customers.

Never driven a van before? Don’t worry, there is no experience required for this role and you will be provided with all of the training you need to become a confident, world class Courier.

Interested in progressing your career? Here at G4S we understand the value and importance of employee development. We will support (where required) employees obtaining their C1 licence to enable them to drive our higher class vehicles. But it doesn’t stop there! We have a suite of management development opportunities too and proudly fill the majority of our managerial and leadership positions with internal candidates.

Due to the nature of the industry in which we operate, you will need to be confident working to procedures as the environment is highly regulated. This will ensure that our service remains superior and that our customers’ requirements are met with optimum efficiency.

The Role

As a Courier - Multi Drop, you will complete daily work tasks within customer's contractual agreements and discretely collect or deliver customer's cash to and from their premises. Collected cash will then be carried back to your vehicle. You must have vigilance, concentration and common sense as well as the ability to build strong relationships with our customers. Our Couriers must:

• Safely drive a small vehicle on all roads including pedestrianised areas

• Deal confidently and safely with situations that may arise on the pavement when carrying cash and valuables

• Comply with UK Domestic Drivers hours legislation

• Collect and deliver cash (including bags of coin) to and from our small and medium sized customers

• Maintain a valid Cash and Valuables in Transit SIA licence (provided by the Company)

• Be considerate of the needs of our small and medium sized customers and strive to meet them every time

• Build strong customer relationships with the many customers you visit

• Learn how to operate our hand-held computers (full training will be provided)

• Proactively learn from the experience of others

• Demonstrate a proactive attitude by carrying out any other duties as deemed reasonable.

• Collaborate with your colleagues in achieving objectives

This role profile will be subject to change in accordance with departmental developments and the job holder’s expertise.

• Pension scheme

• Life assurance
