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.

As a Driver Guard, you will play a key role in our service delivery, representing our business with professionalism and helping to maintain strong customer relationships. You will 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 will complete deliveries with precision, adhere to safety protocols, and perform vehicle checks before each journey to guarantee reliable service. If you are detail-oriented, safety-conscious, and a strong team player, this role could be a great fit for you!

This isn’t your typical delivery job - to be successful as a Driver Guard at Loomis UK, you will need to bring more than just driving skills. You will 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 will also need to have a flexible approach to working hours (including weekends and bank holidays) and be happy to adapt to meet changing circumstances.

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. The values of our organisation - People, Service, Integrity - are fundamental to shaping our culture and the way we manage our business.
