Join G4S as a Driver in Bristol and you will become part of a well-trained, tight knit team providing an essential, cash transportation service to the local community. All you need to have is a valid UK driving licence and good customer service skills to prepare you for a great, long-term driving career with an industry leading company. And you will also earn a great salary and excellent benefits.

G4S is the largest secure solutions company in the world and one of Britain's top Employers. Our Cash Management Solutions business has expertise in secure logistics and payment services including cash and valuables transportation, cash processing, ATM and cash centre outsourcing, secure storage and retrieval and merchant services.

As a G4S Driver in our cash transportation team, you will be at the very heart of our operation. Your primary responsibility will be to securely deliver and collect cash to and from customer premises. It's a highly regulated environment and you will need to be confident working to stringent procedures designed to ensure that our service remains superior and that our customer requirements are met with optimum efficiency.

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.

* 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.

* Wear the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided.

* 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.

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.

* You will need to be confident following specific procedures and instructions and be able to work to tight deadlines.

* Previous experience in a driving role would be extremely beneficial, 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 and confined 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 a 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.
