BRAC International is a development organisation that works with communities through a range of social and economic programmes. Its stated vision is a world free from exploitation and discrimination where people can realise their potential.

In Uganda, BRAC works through a country programme and branch network in areas including agriculture and food security, health, education and youth empowerment, livelihoods and emergency response. The organisation also operates social enterprises.

The DRIVER (GULU) role provides safe and prompt transport for approved official journeys. The driver operates the assigned vehicle under traffic law and BRAC travel, fleet, health, safety and security rules, briefs passengers on safety requirements, and follows authorised movement plans. Daily vehicle responsibilities include inspections, servicing, valid documentation, safe parking, fuel readiness, repair follow-up and accurate movement records. The driver also keeps the vehicle clean and hands over its keys when it is parked at BRAC premises.

The post reports to the Senior Manager, Administration and Logistics, and requires at least three years of driving experience in a relatively large organisation of comparable complexity. It combines driving with practical fleet administration: requisitions, service coordination and timely reporting. The advert also assigns explicit safeguarding duties and states that qualified female candidates are encouraged to apply. BRAC describes the employment as contractual, with negotiable salary.
