From exam results and tax returns to wedding invites or online purchases, joining Royal Mail gives you the opportunity to deliver much more than mail.

About the Role

As a member of our driving team, you will be the public face of Royal Mail and an established part of the community. Your day will mainly involve driving, collecting bulk mail from major customers and Post Offices, and transporting mail between our Mail Centres and Delivery offices at scheduled times.

You need to have obtained your Periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) and hold a valid Drivers Qualification Card (DQC) with 35 hours of training. You must also be able to present your Digital Tachograph Card if selected for assessment.
