How to apply

Make sure the role, the hours and working in Umhlanga really suit you before you apply.
Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 8 or motorbike licence copy, certified ID and a recent proof of address plus a CV with any delivery or courier work.
Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

Say you have a smartphone and know delivery apps. Most courier jobs now run through an app and training time is short.
For owner-driver jobs, list your vehicle's make, year and load size. They hire the vehicle as much as the driver.
