Parcel Delivery Driver

Are you ready to make a difference? Royal Mail is seeking enthusiastic and dedicated individuals for temporary postal and delivery driver positions. If you have a passion for community service and enjoy being on the move, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

Location: Ivybridge

Shift: Working 5 days between Monday – Sunday. Please note this position involves weekend working and it is vital you can commit to this.

Hours: 30 hrs per week with varying start/finish times depending on site. 10:00 – 16:00.

Hourly Rate: £13.37 basic rate (additional rate for overtime)

About the role

You’ll start your day with about an hour in the local delivery office, loading mail for your route, before setting out on foot or in a provided van to complete your parcel/mail round. You’ll be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries, with each round usually taking around four hours. The device will also serve as your routing system to optimize your route.

About You

Upbeat and self-motivated, you’ll be comfortable working alone as well as part of a team and engaging with different people on your round. You’ll have a strong sense of community, and the flexibility of working patterns will appeal to you.

You will deliver post/parcels come rain or shine, so we’re looking for people who enjoy being outdoors regardless of the weather. This role also offers a way to stay fit.

Some experience in a customer-facing role would be ideal.
