Job description

As one of our Self-Employed Core Delivery Drivers you’ll enjoy freedom, flexibility and better financial rewards, plus all the support and benefits of being part of our wider Yodel team. You don't need any experience, and the more you deliver, the more you earn.

Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect

Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn anything between £18-£20p/h (paid per parcel). We’re in the business of delivering promises as well as parcels, so we’ve raised our game and given you more reasons to join us. All our rates are competitively enhanced taking business mileage and operational costs into consideration. It’s a total gamechanger.

Daily & Weekly Payment Options

Yodel offers flexible payment options to all Self-Employed delivery drivers, giving you the option to access earnings from the very next day via an app provided by our early-access partner, Onsi, or alternatively, suppliers can join the weekly payment cycle scheme, which kicks in following 4 weeks of completed delivery services.

Both payment options allow you, the supplier, to receive more regular payments for the delivery services you have provided.

We have plenty of parcels to deliver

There are plenty of parcels to deliver meaning the earning opportunity is in your hands. Our parcels weigh up to a maximum of 15kg and can vary in size. You can realistically deliver and collect between 16‑25 parcels an hour depending on the area and your experience, for 6 days a week. The more you deliver, the more you earn with the opportunity to take more parcels and boost your revenue.

We’ll give you freedom and flexibility

You can plan your own route or use our award‑winning app with simple instructions and built‑in optimisation, which will help you prepare and plan your routes more easily, as well as allowing you to liaise directly with customers.

We’ll offer regular work in the same area, 6 days a week

We deliver parcels for some of the biggest retailers around, so there’s no shortage of parcels to deliver. Plus, you’ll be able to stay local and get to know the roads and customers.

We’ll develop and support you

You’ll get all the independence of being self‑employed, plus the backing of our expert team and access to a Yodel representative to answer your questions.

Each day is what you make it. You can plan your own route, which will keep things fresh and interesting. At each delivery or doorstep, use your mobile to scan parcels and make sure they’re safely received by the customer, so there’s no difficult technology for you to get to grips with. We will arrange a suitable time for you to collect your parcels daily, or for those located within a more rural area, we can drop them to you – simple!

Want a bit more? All our Self-Employed Delivery Drivers have access to:

• Partner discounts – including Naked Wines, Beer Hawk and Hello Fresh.
• Health and wellbeing programmes – offering support from managing relationships to finance.
• Develop and grow your business – there’s plenty of parcels to deliver, meaning the earning opportunity is in your hands.

No experience, no problem! We give full training and support to help you get on your way.

All you need to show us is the following to get started:

• Access to an insured car or van (up to 3.5 tonnes).
• A full UK or EC/EEA driving licence.
• Proof of right to work in the UK.
• iOS or Android smart phone.
• Proof of own bank account.
• And finally, a great attitude.
