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 and parcels, which is why we are enhancing our rates by considering business mileage and operational costs. This is a real gamechanger.

Daily & Weekly Payment Options

Yodel offers flexible payment options to all Self-Employed Delivery Drivers. You can access earnings from the next day via an app provided by our early access partner, Onsi, or join the weekly payment cycle after four weeks of completed deliveries. Both options provide more regular payments for your services.

Plenty of parcels to deliver

There are numerous parcels to deliver, providing great earning opportunities. Parcels weigh up to 15kg and vary in size. You can realistically deliver and collect between 16-25 parcels an hour, depending on the area and your experience, over six days a week. The more you deliver, the more you earn, with opportunities to take additional parcels and increase revenue.

Freedom and flexibility

You can plan your own route or use our award-winning app with simple instructions and built-in optimisation to help you plan efficiently. The app also allows direct communication with customers.

Regular work in the same area

We deliver parcels for major retailers, ensuring a steady flow of parcels. You'll stay local, get to know the roads and customers, and work six days a week.

Support and development

Enjoy the independence of being self-employed with the backing of our expert team and access to a Yodel representative for assistance.

The Life of a Core Delivery Driver

Each day is what you make it. You can plan your route to keep things interesting. Use your mobile to scan parcels at each delivery, ensuring safe receipt by the customer. We arrange suitable collection times, and for rural areas, we can deliver parcels directly to you.

Additional benefits include:

• Partner discounts (e.g., Naked Wines, Beer Hawk, HelloFresh)
• Health and Wellbeing programmes
• Opportunities to develop and grow your business
