• Proven reliability and punctuality (high importance for this role)
• Comfortable with nationwide travel and occasional overnight stays
• Professional, calm, and respectful manner
• Able to manage fatigue responsibly and take breaks as needed
Desirable
• Previous experience in professional driving (chauffeur, courier, field-based roles, exec transport)
• Familiarity with Waze/Google Maps and confident route planning
• DBS check (or willing to complete one)
Self-Employed Terms
• Driver must be self-employed and able to invoice monthly
• Driver is responsible for their own tax/NI and compliance as a subcontractor
• Company van provided for business travel
