About the Job.
At Biocair our Drivers, or Life Science Logistics Technicians as we prefer them to be known, are a truly vital part of our organisation. This is not just any driver role; it is not just any courier role. This is one of the most crucial roles in our company where what you do will make a true impact on someone’s life. It is something you can be proud to be associated with. It is not about dropping 200 parcels in one day, it’s about ensuring you transport a select number of time-critical and temperature-sensitive consignments (whether medicines or a sample from a cancer patient) in a safe, careful, and timely manner whilst maintaining the highest levels of customer care. This is a busy and fast-paced role with customer care being at the centre of all you do.
This is a UK-based role and the right to live and work in the UK will need to be established during the recruitment process. Please note we are not currently a Home Office visa sponsorship license holder.
