Courier B licence
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Courier B Licence role involves collecting and delivering parcels safely and on schedule, completing delivery paperwork, using handheld technology, and providing professional customer service. Candidates generally need a valid UK driving licence suitable for the vehicle, a safe driving record, good geographical knowledge, and the ability to lift and handle packages. Previous courier, delivery, or customer-service experience is helpful but may not always be essential. The role requires reliability, punctuality, physical fitness, good communication, attention to detail, and flexibility to work varying shifts. Candidates are expected to follow road-safety, security, and company procedures while representing Federal Express Corporation professionally.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
