Are you a motorcycle rider in Kenya looking for a new opportunity to expand your horizons and earn big? Here’s some great news! Officials from a leading United Arab Emirates company will be visiting Kenya next week to hire motorcycle riders for well-paying jobs in Dubai. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is perfect for bodaboda riders and hustlers looking to change their lives.
Here’s everything you need to know about the job, qualifications, benefits, and the application process.
Job Overview
The company is offering 600 positions for motorcycle riders. Successful candidates will work as delivery riders in Dubai, where they can earn competitive salaries, receive free accommodation, and enjoy additional benefits such as comprehensive medical care.
Who Can Apply?
To qualify, you need the following:
- A valid Kenyan passport or proof that your application on eCitizen is in progress.
- A current Certificate of Good Conduct or proof of an application in progress.
- A valid rider’s license.
- Experience is not mandatory, but it will give you an advantage. If you are a bodaboda rider, this is your chance to shine!
Note: Successful applicants will receive four months of training in Dubai, during which the company will help them obtain UAE riding licenses.
What’s in it for You?
1. Competitive Earnings
You will earn 7.5 dirhams per delivery trip. Riders are expected to make a minimum of 15 trips daily, earning 112.5 dirhams daily. For 26 working days in a month, this totals 2,925 dirhams (approximately Kshs. 104,000 tax-free). Riders who go above and beyond, completing up to 30 trips daily, can significantly increase their earnings.
2. Free Accommodation
The company provides free, comfortable accommodation to all employees.
3. Fully Maintained Work Motorcycle
You’ll receive a motorcycle that is fully maintained by the company, so you can focus on delivering.
4. Comprehensive Medical Care
Your health will be taken care of with full medical coverage provided by the company.
5. Work Visa
The employer will process your work visa, ensuring a smooth transition to Dubai.
What Are the Costs?
While the company covers most of the benefits, pre-arrival costs are the responsibility of the applicant. Below is a breakdown of the expenses:
- HR Provider Fee (Dubai): 2,200 dirhams (~81,400 KES)
- Airfare: ~40,000 KES
- Medical Fee: 16,500 KES (non-refundable, payable upfront)
- Processing Fees (visa, paperwork, etc.): ~30,000 KES
Total Estimated Cost: 167,900 KES
Don’t worry about the upfront payment. Partner banks are offering loans to cover these costs, which you can repay after you begin working. The medical fee is the only amount you need to pay upfront, while the rest can be settled once you pass the medical tests.
