Zvitambo is recruiting two field drivers in Shurugwi for its LIFE-ED research project. These are full-time, twelve-month opportunities supporting study visits involving children and their caregivers. The work provides the transport link between participants’ homes and the clinic where research assessments take place.
Employer: Zvitambo Institute for Maternal and Child Health Research
Location: Shurugwi
Closing date: 04 November 2026
What the role involves
Drivers will collect and return participating families, carry out basic participant-identification checks and provide safe travel in rural areas. Other driving assignments may be required. The position therefore calls for dependable practical driving experience and an understanding of the care needed when transporting families to scheduled research visits.
Qualifications and experience
The vacancy asks for five Ordinary Level passes and a clean Class 4 licence. At least two years of continuous driving experience is required, preferably including off-road conditions. A Class 2 licence, defensive-driving certificate, advanced mechanical training and experience in logistics or fleet operations are listed as advantages rather than substitutes for the core requirements.
Preparing your application
The live employer application form asks about your ability to work full-time in Shurugwi, availability, education, logistics experience and driving history. Prepare accurate licence dates and a clear account of previous driving roles. It also asks for your minimum expected basic salary in US dollars; this is a question for applicants, not a published salary offer.
