NW Recruitment Services Ltd are currently supporting Royal Mail who are now recruiting for delivery and collection postwomen and postmen with driving responsibilities (under 3.5 tonne vehicles).

As the face of Royal Mail you will work 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 postwomen and men who deliver mail to your home day in, day out. 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. It allows you the chance to deliver smiles and successes; new toys and old memories – 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:

Delivering and collecting mail and parcels to houses and businesses within a set area. You’ll be the face of Royal Mail in your local community, and work flexible hours to deliver the outstanding levels of service our customers have come to expect.

• You’ll start your day in the local delivery office, sorting the mail for your route.
• You will then need to complete the necessary checks on your vehicle, guidance on how to complete these checks will be covered during your initial training, before joining a colleague in a shared van to start your round.
• You’ll each be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries and the round will take around four hours to complete.
• The role will involve a combination of driving and walking, depending on daily requirements, route allocations and vehicle availability.
• Candidates must be comfortable undertaking both, as some days may involve driving to a designated location, completing the remainder of the route on foot, and driving back at the end of the day.

Driving licence requirements:

A full UK manual driving licence (in your current UK address), with no more than 6 penalty points is essential but ideally a clean licence is preferred, please note you will be required to show this at assessment.
