We will always support in making reasonable adjustments for candidates where required.

Due to current regulations called the Working time Directive and Local Education Authority rules we are unable to accept applications from candidates who have not reached the minimum school leaving age. This is due to the restrictions on what duties you are allowed to perform and the level of supervision required at all times. This is defined as: You must have left school and have reached the age of 16 by the start of the new school year. For more details please go to https://www.gov.uk/know-when-you-can-leave-school

For some roles this is possible but please think about the type of role that will suit you and your goals, and only apply for appropriate vacancies.

If a particular DHL location is not appearing in the dropdown list it means that there are currently no vacancies for that area. You should set up job alerts and you will automatically be emailed when a vacancy that matches your preferences is live. You will find a ‘Sign up for Job alerts’ button on most pages on DHL careers page.

All vacancies for our new locations, both full and part-time, will be advertised on our careers pages. Our upcoming openings for DHL are listed on this page. If the new location is not yet listed, then this would mean we’re still finalising the details of our opening date.

We want our personnel to continually develop. That is why we offer our employees an extensive selection of professional and personal development opportunities. Through various on-site training programmes, as well as on our online learning portal, we offer a wide range of opportunities for further education, training and development. On-the-job training that’s crucial for you to gain skills, plus knowledge and certification to support you in responding better to the demands of your job is also provided. Driver-training courses and other traffic-safety programmes as part of DHL’s Road Safety Code are also available.

At DHL, you have all the opportunities you’d expect to be offered by a global company. This includes transfers between corporate divisions as well as assignments abroad.

The selection process within DHL is divided into several phases. Depending on the job, different selection tools (e.g. interviews, assessment centres or applicants' days) may be used. Your recruiter will provide information about the selection process that is relevant to the role you have applied for.

Interview Queries

You will need to bring with you the proof of right to work in the UK documents. In addition we recommend you bring your CV (if you have one) & other certificates or proof of qualifications relevant to the role you are applying for.

It is DHL’s legal obligation to ensure that anyone we are looking to employ is legally entitled to work in the UK before their employment begins. We require all candidates to provide evidence of their entitlement to work in the UK when they attend an assessment or interview. These documents will be checked and authorised by the Interviewer/assessor conducting the assessment. Failure to provide satisfactory evidence of your right to work in the UK will prevent your application progressing. For more information on what documents you can bring to show you have the right to work, and more details, please follow this link to the Government Website: https://www.gov.uk/legal-right-work-uk
