About the Role:

  • You’ll start your day in the local delivery office, sorting and gathering the mail needed for your route. You will collect your allocated vehicle and your hand-held computer device (detailing your route and tracking your mail) and then deliver the mail and parcels to your local community. Shift lengths vary between 4 – 8 hours per day. Please be aware that you will be walking more than driving and most Post people do over 20’000 steps a day.

  • You will be smartly presented, always acting professionally and courteously.

Previous Experience:

  • Some previous experience in a customer-facing or delivery role would be ideal but not essential.
  • You will be required to complete a full DBS security check before commencing work.

Driving Licence Requirements:

  • A full UK manual driving licence (in your current UK address).
  • Maximum 6 penalty points.
  • Unfortunately, we are unable to accept IN/DD/DR/CD endorsements.
