Parcel Delivery Driver

Are you ready to deliver 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 love being on the move, this is the perfect opportunity for you!

Location: Torpoint

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

Hours per week are dependent, with varying start and finish times based on the site.

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

About the role

You’ll start your day for an hour or so in the local delivery office, loading the mail for your route, before setting out on foot or in a provided van to complete your parcel/mail round. You’ll each 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 act as your routing system, optimizing your route for efficiency.

About You

Upbeat and self-motivated, you’ll be comfortable working alone or as part of a team, and enjoy getting to know different people on your round. You’ll have a strong sense of community, and the idea of flexible working patterns will appeal to you.

You will be delivering post/parcels come rain or shine, so we’re looking for people who enjoy being outdoors regardless of the weather. You’ll also like the idea of a job that helps you stay fit.

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

Requirements:

• A full UK manual driving licence required (in your current UK address), with no more than six penalty points. A clean licence is preferred.
