Cash-in-Transit Officer

A Cash-in-Transit Officer is responsible for securely transporting cash and valuables between locations such as banks, ATMs, retail stores, and cash depots. The role involves operating armoured vehicles, adhering to strict security protocols, and often working in teams to minimise risk during pickups and deliveries.

Officers must remain alert at all times, handle firearms or security equipment where licensed, and respond swiftly to any potential threats or emergencies. Physical fitness, attention to detail, and a strong understanding of safety procedures are essential, as the job carries a significant level of risk and responsibility. Employers typically require a valid security licence, background checks, and sometimes firearms training, depending on the nature of the role.
