It's great that you are interested in working with Stuart!

In this article we outline the Stuart Onboarding Process.

The Application Form

During this stage, we will ask you to complete the application form.

Some of the information we might need from you will include:

  • Your Name

  • Your Address

  • Your Bank details

  • Documents proving your Right to Work in the UK

Onboarding Videos & Quizzes

After you have completed the form, you will be asked to complete our Onboarding Videos + Quizzes. These are essential to make sure you're comfortable on the road and ready to start delivering.

The topics covered in the videos and quizzes include:

  • How to be safe on the road

  • What you will need to deliver with Stuart

  • How we pay you for the deliveries you make

The Verification Stage

During this stage, a member of our team will verify your details and the documents that you have submitted.

If there is an issue with your details or documents, we will email you directly with questions we might have or with a link to re-upload your documents.

Getting Your Equipment

Once we verify your documents, you will have the opportunity to purchase the necessary equipment to help you deliver. You can either purchase Stuart equipment or, if you already own functioning equipment, you can use your own!

Equipment available for purchase on The Stuart Shop includes:

  • Thermal Bags

  • High Vis Jackets

  • Waterproof Trousers

  • And so much more…

The Background Check

To verify your identity, you will have to pass the background check with our partner Sterling. This is an essential part of onboarding and is mandatory for all applicants to ensure our platform is safe for everyone.

To complete your background check, you’ll receive a link in an email to the inbox associated with your application.

Please note that if your background check fails, we will not be able to onboard you. You agree to proceed on the understanding that if you fail the check, you will not receive any reimbursement or refund for the cost of the check.

Approved

Congrats, you’re approved to deliver with Stuart! Once you reach this stage, you will receive an email to download the Courier App.

⚠️ Please note that you will be unable to log in to a courier account until you are approved.
