Job description

Self-employed Core Delivery Driver

As one of our Self-Employed Core Delivery Drivers, you'll enjoy freedom, flexibility, and better financial rewards, along with the support and benefits of being part of our wider Yodel team. No experience is necessary, and the more you deliver, the more you earn.

Why join Yodel

• Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect: Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn between GBP18 - GBP20 per hour (paid per parcel). We are committed to delivering promises as well as parcels, which is why we enhance our rates considering mileage and operational costs.
• Daily & Weekly Payment Options: Yodel offers flexible payment options, including next-day earnings via an app with our early access partner, Onsi, or weekly payments after four weeks of service. Both options provide more regular earnings.
• Plenty of parcels to deliver: Our parcels, weighing up to 15kg, vary in size, allowing you to deliver and collect 16-25 parcels per hour, depending on your experience and area, six days a week. The more parcels you deliver, the higher your income.
• Freedom and flexibility: You can plan your routes or use our award-winning app with simple instructions and route optimization, plus direct communication with customers.
• Regular work in the same area: We deliver for major retailers, ensuring a steady flow of parcels and the opportunity to stay local and familiar with your community.
• Support and development: Enjoy the independence of self-employment with backing from our expert team and access to a Yodel representative for support.

The Life of a Core Delivery Driver

Each day is what you make it. You can plan your routes to keep things interesting. Use your mobile to scan parcels at delivery points, ensuring safe receipt by customers. We arrange parcel collection times suitable for you, including rural drop-offs.

• Health and Wellbeing Programs
• Opportunities to develop and grow your business
