Royal Mail is one of the
UK's best-loved brands. Every day, bringing letters and parcels to
people around the country; something that communities across the UK
rely on. They are 150,000 strong with 500 years of history and are
hugely proud of the service they provide.
About the role
You
must go through an Enhanced Vetting check before commencing with this
role.
You'll start your day for an hour or so in the local
delivery office, sorting the mail for your route, before taking out
your van to complete your round. You'll each be given a hand-held
computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries and the
round will take around four hours to complete. The hand-held computer
will also act as your routing system putting your round in the most
economical route, telling you which house to go to next.
About
You
Upbeat and self-motivated, you'll be as happy working alone
as you will be working as part of a team and getting to know the
different people on your round. You'll have a strong sense of
community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible working
patterns will appeal to you.
We deliver parcels come rain or shine,
so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the
weather, you'll also be someone who likes the idea of doing a job
that will help you keep fit.
Some experience in a customer facing
role would be ideal.
Driving licence requirements
A full UK
manual driving licence (in your current UK address), with no more than
six penalty points is essential, but a clean licence is preferred.
Please note you will be required to show this at assessment.
