What are the benefits of being a courier?

When you set off as a Thuisbezorgd.nl courier, you’ll get an hourly salary, holiday pay and more money-related perks. Joining us on the road will also help you develop valuable skills for your career. Here’s how it all works…

What are the financial benefits?

Without our dedicated couriers, there would be no Thuisbezorgd.nl. Because they keep our business on the move, we make sure their hard work is properly rewarded. When you set off with us in the Netherlands, you’ll enjoy:

• An hourly base salary, meaning you get paid anytime you’re working – even if you’re waiting for the next order to arrive

•  Holiday pay, paid sick leave, value of vacation days, city allowance (depending on your location) and a potential performance-based bonus

•  The Refer a Friend program. If you recommend a friend who joins us, you can earn a tasty cash reward

What are the scheduling and social perks?

Everyone wants a job that suits their schedule, and it’s our mission to give you one. Whether you’re riding with us in Rotterdam, delivering in Den Bosch, or anywhere else in the Netherlands, we make sure you have the right working conditions. Here’s how:

• Flexible contracts and schedules: work the hours you want, at a time that suits you

• Thuisbezorgd hub or your home: you choose where to start your shifts from

• Community spirit: connect with other couriers and join community events

• Support from your local team: setting you up with all the equipment (e.g. renting a bike)

Can I develop my soft skills as a courier?

The answer is yes! When you ride as part of our courier community, you will grow and develop skills that will help you in any job. Some of the key skills our couriers have built with us are:

• Problem-solving and critical thinking: from dealing with route changes to an issue with a customer’s order, you will find solutions that keep you on the move

• People skills and support: by working in a team of couriers, you will communicate with and support your colleagues, as well as dealing with customers across your city

• A strong work ethic: whether it’s your first job or the latest of many, working as a courier means being productive and determined (plus, it looks good on your CV)

• A positive attitude: there’s plenty to enjoy about being a courier. Every job has its difficult days, but working in a supportive team and dealing with happy customers can help you develop a positive, can-do attitude
