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.

Who are we?

Loomis UK has a strong national presence and is part of the Loomis Group – a worldwide leader in the security sector. We provide secure, end-to-end solutions for the distribution, handling, and storage of cash and valuables for banks, retailers, and other businesses. From intelligent safes and cash-in-transit services to cash processing and ATM replenishment, we play a vital role in supporting the everyday flow of money in society.

The role

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 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. This role requires the post holder to undertake deliveries to a variety of customer sites and can involve physically demanding activities such as walking, bending, lifting and carrying (up to 15kg) multiple times daily, in order to meet the performance standards expected by our customers. 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.

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.

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 (Category C1 as a minimum)
• You must be approved to attain an SIA licence. Joining us with an existing CVIT 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:

• 24 days holiday per year (excluding bank holidays)
• 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
• Cycle to Work scheme
• Progression opportunities

You will receive the very best in procedural security training and support.

If customer service is at the heart of what you do and you want to join an organisation where you can grow and develop your own career, then apply today with your CV including a full job history.

We look forward to receiving your application.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates. We particularly welcome applications from women, who are currently underrepresented in this area. All appointments will be made on merit.
