.

Job Reference Number: 332836

As the face of Royal Mail you will work as part of a team ensuring we continue to deliver the high standards of service our customers expect.

When you think of jobs at Royal Mail, the first thing you might think of is the postal workers who deliver mail to your home day in, day out. From exam results and tax returns, to wedding invites or online purchases, joining Royal Mail gives you the opportunity to deliver much more than mail. It allows you the chance to deliver smiles and successes;

new toys and old memories – making a real impact in the heart of your community, while working for one of the UK’s most well‑loved brands.

As a member of our driving team, you will be the public face of Royal Mail and an established part of the community. Much of your day will be spent driving, collecting bulk mail from major customers and Post Offices and transporting mail between our Mail Centres and Delivery offices at pre‑arranged times. Part of the role will be loading and unloading your van and sorting it into the correct onward distribution.

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 shift patterns will appeal. We deliver mail come rain or shine, so we’re looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, and because there is walking involved in every round, 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.

A C1 Category licence (in your current UK address) with less than 6 penalty points is essential; a clean licence is preferred. You must have obtained your Periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and hold a valid Driver Qualification Card (DQC) with 35 hours training to be eligible to apply and will need to be able to present your Digital Tachograph Card, if selected for assessment.

Five centuries in business has made Royal Mail more than a household name. We connect companies, customers and communities across the country, delivering a ‘one‑price‑goes‑anywhere’, universal postal service to more than 29 million addresses across the UK. We are one of the UK’s leading companies, undertaking a major industrial transformation as letter volumes decline and parcel volumes grow. We are an inclusive employer with equality, diversity and fairness at the heart of our values and are committed to promoting fair participation and equality of opportunity for all of our job applicants.

You will be paid weekly, plus overtime and shift allowance if applicable.

Salary: £627.91 per week pro rata
