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, 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.

Why join Yodel

1. Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect: Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn anything between GBP18 - GBP20p/h (paid per parcel). We're raising our game and giving you more reasons to come and join us. All our rates are competitively enhanced taking business mileage and operational costs into consideration. It's a total game changer.
2. 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, you can join the weekly payment cycle scheme, which kicks in following 4 weeks of completed delivery services.
3. 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.
4. Freedom and flexibility: You can plan your own route or use our handy award-winning app with simple instructions and built-in optimization which will help you prepare and plan your routes more easily.
5. 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.
6. Development and support: 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.

The Life of a Core Delivery Driver

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. 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 to you.

What you'll need to show us?

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:

1. Access to an insured car or van (up to 3.5 tonne)
2. A full UK or EC/EEA Driving Licence
3. Proof of Right to Work in the UK
4. iOS or Android smartphone
5. Proof of own bank account
6. A great attitude
