Royal Mail is one of the UK's best-loved brands. Every day, bringing letters and parcels to people around the country; something that communities across the UK rely on. They are 150,000 strong with 500 years of history and are hugely proud of the service they provide.
You'll start your day within the Collection Unit of Crawley, West Sussex delivery office before taking out your van / transit to complete your round. You'll each be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for collections. You will mainly be collecting parcels from customers so this will require manual handling.

You may also be asked to work from other local depots.
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 working patterns will appeal to you. We deliver and collect parcels come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, 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.
