Whether you're seeking a new challenge or looking to work in a dynamic and meaningful environment, we’d love to hear from you!

• Active Work Environment: No two days are the same.
• A job you can be proud of: Be part of a service that connects people and businesses every day.
• Competitive Pay: Enjoy competitive rates and the flexibility to fit work around your lifestyle.

What We’re Looking For

• Driving Licence: Full, manual UK driving licence with no more than 6 points – you’ll be driving a Royal Mail van as part of your round.

Your Role

As a Post Person with Driving, you’ll be the face of Royal Mail in your community, ensuring letters and parcels are delivered come rain or shine. You’ll drive round your delivery area, completing parts of your route on foot, providing exceptional service and ensuring every item reaches its destination safely.

This role is more than just a job; it’s a vital service at the heart of every neighbourhood. If you take pride in your work and are happy to work flexibly, we want to hear from you.
