G4S is the largest secure solutions company in the world and one of Britain’s top Employers. Our Cash Solutions business has expertise in cash and valuables transportation, cash processing, ATM and cash centre secure storage.

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.

Undertake training to develop, learn and progress.

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.

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’ll need to provide 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 warehouse environment.
An SIA licence would be beneficial.

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