DRIVER GRADE 12 – Oshana Regional Council, Directorate of Health and Social Services

You need a valid Namibian Code 10 or Code 14 driver's license with a Professional Driving Permit (PrDP). A Grade 12 certificate is typically required, and some employers prefer additional certifications in defensive driving or first aid.

You will transport goods or passengers safely according to assigned routes and schedules. Daily tasks include vehicle inspections, maintaining logbooks, ensuring cargo security, and reporting any mechanical issues promptly.

Namibian employers value punctuality, reliability, and respect for hierarchy in workplace communication. Drivers are expected to maintain professional conduct, follow traffic regulations strictly, and often work irregular hours including weekends and public holidays.

With experience, you can advance to senior driver, fleet supervisor, or transport coordinator roles. Some drivers transition into logistics management or start their own transport businesses after gaining sufficient industry knowledge.

Benefits vary by employer but commonly include annual leave, sick leave, and contributions to the Social Security Commission. Larger organizations may offer medical aid and pension schemes, while smaller employers often provide basic statutory benefits only.

Submit applications through job portals, newspaper advertisements, or directly to company HR departments with certified copies of your license, PrDP, and academic certificates. Employers prioritize clean driving records, no criminal history, and references from previous driving positions.
