Van Driver

Do you want to be a valued part of the critical infrastructure that serves communities across Europe and beyond? Are you looking for a position in which you can keep things moving and deliver when it matters most? If so, then you could be the newest addition to our team as a Van Driver.

Be part of the movement – and play your part.

About the Role

Working Monday to Friday, your responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering a range of goods to both commercial and residential customers across the island
  • Ensuring all deliveries are completed promptly and arrive in excellent condition
  • Offering a friendly, professional service at each drop-off point
  • Performing routine vehicle checks and keeping the van clean and tidy
  • Assisting the DFDS North Uist team with additional tasks as needed

About You

We’re looking for someone with a full, clean UK driving licence. Previous experience in delivery driving is desirable but not essential. A solid understanding of North Uist, Benbecula, and South Uist is important, along with a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and excellent communication skills.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.

We’ll support you on your journey and create the conditions that make it worthwhile.

We’ll encourage you to challenge yourself, to acquire new skills and attributes. We want you to develop and progress within your career. At DFDS, we believe that development happens first and foremost through activities in the workplace, and we've developed training courses to support you.
