Role Responsibility

The Role.

You will join a team of specialist Drivers and be responsible for making scheduled deliveries and collections, within specified time windows, ensuring all work is completed in a timely manner and in accordance with your trip sheet. It’s important that you maintain good, safe and courteous driving behaviour and present a professional appearance by always wearing the company uniform and the relevant safety equipment provided. Our Drivers must always be polite and courteous to customers and members of the public at all times and wear the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided. You’ll also:

• Carry out vehicle checks and report any security and/or mechanical defects and follow procedures properly in the event of an emergency or a criminal attack.
• Check consignments and ensure accuracy and efficient loading/unloading at branches and other secure areas.
• Undertake training to develop, learn and progress.
• Demonstrate a proactive attitude by carrying out any other duties as deemed reasonable.

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

Person Specification

So what makes a successful Driver?

To succeed as a G4S Driver, you will need to hold a valid UK driver’s licence and be confident when communicating with customers and colleagues in both written and spoken English. An appropriate level of numeracy is also very important, and you will be adept following specific procedures and instructions and be able to work to tight deadlines. We ideally seek:

• Previous experience in a driving role would be extremely beneficial but is not essential, as would experience using IT and computer systems.
• You must be continuously focused on providing a top‑notch service to our customers by being efficient, flexible and at all times security conscious.
• You’ll need to be physically fit, as the role involves lifting and transporting heavy items. You will be subject to a medical review, which may include a medical assessment with an occupational health practitioner.

Hourly Rate: £14.06 in the first 6 months, rising to £14.36 and rising to £14.66 after 12 months / average annual salary £36,591. Currently, overtime opportunities are available to enhance earning potential but overtime is not guaranteed.

The above quoted salary is based on a 48‑hour working week after 12 months service on the anticipated hourly rates from 1st January 2023. If you work fewer hours than this, then your earnings would inevitably be less, and your actual earnings will be dependent on your hourly rate, the number of hours that you work, and your offer letter and terms and conditions of employment.

The Ideal Candidate

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

• You must be able to pass a criminal record check as well as a personal credit and ID check.
• You must also have a 10‑year employment/unemployment/educational history that we can check and verify.
• You will need to be prepared to undergo airport‑style searches when entering and leaving our premises and be comfortable working within a secure and confined environment.
• An SIA licence would be beneficial.

We’ll provide all the training and support to help you progress as a key member of a world‑class team. And in addition to a culture that believes in promoting from within, we offer up to five weeks paid holiday, pension scheme, life assurance and We Care: 24/7 access to online GP, mental health support and virtual well‑being.

This role will be subject to a medical review, which may include a medical assessment with an occupational health practitioner.
