Job description

Due to an increase in workload, our Newcastle transport hub is seeking Delivery Drivers (known internally as Driver Guards).

Do you want to work in a place where your team values you? Do you have a positive attitude and the desire to learn and succeed?

Our drivers are responsible for the safe handling and transportation of customer and company goods, whilst maintaining excellent levels of customer service.

This is a great opportunity for someone with a high level of integrity to develop within Loomis UK - one of the market leaders in our industry. We are an organisation with a strong national presence and are part of the Loomis Group - a worldwide security sector leader.

Pay: £13.40 per hour, rising to £14.40 per hour after probation

Who are we?

Loomis UK is a cash handling company, helping manage the public flow of cash in society. From secure money safes to intelligent smart safes, cash in transit and cash processing, Loomis supports businesses throughout the UK with crucial cash and coin collection and delivery services, along with ATM management and replenishment service.

The role

As a Loomis Driver Guard, you’ll have fantastic earning potential. Almost 10% of our drivers earn more than £45,000 and over 20% earn more than £40,000 (includes overtime and shift pay).

Overtime is readily available but not guaranteed.

As a Driver Guard, you'll play a key role in our service delivery, representing our business with professionalism and helping to maintain strong customer relationships.

You'll be responsible for the secure transportation of cash and valuables in an armoured vehicle between clients and destinations, ensuring high standards of service and safety. You'll complete deliveries with precision, adhere to safety protocols, and perform vehicle checks before each journey to guarantee reliable service.

If you're detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and a strong team player, this role could be a great fit for you!

About you

This isn't your typical delivery job - to be successful as a Driver Guard at Loomis UK, you'll need to bring more than just driving skills. You'll be dependable, punctual, and great at communicating with customers, colleagues, and the public. Being a team player with a positive, "can-do" attitude is essential. You'll also need to have a flexible approach to working hours (including weekends and bank holidays) and be happy to adapt to meet changing circumstances.

The pillars of our organisation - People, Service, Integrity - are the backbone of our operations.

To enable you to carry out your role successfully, we will provide you with full training, your essential kit (including full uniform and Personal Protective Equipment where required), as well as continued development throughout your career with us.

We also have some specific security criteria that you will need to meet:

• You must be able to pass criminal record, personal credit and ID checks
• You must have verifiable 10-year employment/unemployment/educational history
• You must have a current UK driving licence
• You must be approved to attain an SIA licence. Joining us with an existing SIA licence will automatically qualify you for the post-probation rate of pay, as well as a £1,000 bonus. If you don’t hold one already, you will be required to attain a licence (paid for by us) during your probation period

In return we offer the following:

• Earning potential in excess of £35,000 per year*
• 24 days holiday per year (excluding bank holidays. Pro rata for PT)
• A 12-week induction and training programme (The Loomis Way)
• Life Assurance
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
• A safe and supportive culture
• Full uniform and PPE
• MyRewards – over 3000 discounts for everyday life
• Pension scheme

We look forward to receiving your application.
