Job description

Royal Mail are now recruiting for drivers in North West Midlands Mail Centre

Job Reference Number 323002

As the face of Royal Mail you will work from 10:00pm to 6:00am as part of a team ensuring we continue to deliver the high standards of service our customers expect.

When you think of jobs at Royal Mail, the first thing you might think of is the postal workers who deliver mail to your home day in, day out. Joining Royal Mail gives you the opportunity to deliver much more than mail. It allows you the chance to deliver smiles and successes, making a real impact in the heart of your community, while working for one of the UK's most well-loved brands.

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. Much of your day will be spent driving, collecting bulk mail from major customers, Post Offices, and transporting mail between our Mail Centres and Delivery offices at prearranged times. Part of the role will be loading and unloading your van and sorting it into correct onward distribution.

About You

Upbeat and self-motivated, you'll be as happy working alone as you will be working as part of a team. You'll have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible shift patterns will appeal. We deliver mail come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather. Because there is walking involved in every round, 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.

Driving Licence Requirements

A C1 Category licence (in your current UK address), having less than 6 penalty points is essential but ideally a clean licence is preferred. You must have obtained your Periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence qualification (CPC) and hold a valid Drivers Qualification Card (DQC) with 35 hours training to be eligible to apply. You will need to be able to present your Digital Tachograph Card, if selected for assessment.

We connect companies, customers and communities across the country, delivering a universal postal service to more than 29 million addresses across the UK. We are focused on leveraging the increasing number of parcels driven by the growth of the online shopping industry.

We are an inclusive employer with equality, diversity and fairness at the heart of our values. We welcome applications from individuals from all different backgrounds and are committed to promoting fair participation and equality of opportunity for all of our job applicants.

Pay and Benefits

You will be paid weekly, plus overtime and shift allowance if applicable.

Salary: £602.60 per week pro rata

Hours of work: We are looking to offer Permanent 38 hours per week, 5 days Monday-Sunday between 10:00pm-6:00am. More information will be available at the suitability discussion.

What happens next?
