Due to an increase in workload, our Edinburgh branch is seeking Delivery Drivers (known internally as Driver Guards).

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. We are an organisation with a strong national presence and are part of the Loomis Group - a worldwide security sector leader.

Who are we?

Loomis UK is a cash handling company, helping manage the public flow of cash in society. From secure money safes to intelligent smart safes, cash in transit and cash processing, Loomis supports businesses throughout the UK with crucial cash and coin collection and delivery services, along with ATM management and replenishment service.

The role

As a Loomis Driver Guard, you’ll have fantastic earning potential. Almost 10% of our drivers earn more than £45,000 and over 20% earn more than £40,000 (includes overtime** and shift pay).

**Overtime is readily available but not guaranteed.

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 in an armoured vehicle 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.
