Casual Postman/Postwoman with Driving - Kings Lynn
Contract TypeCasual Engagement
EmployerRoyal Mail Letters
AddressAustin Fields
KINGS LYNN
PE30 1AA
Job Description
Are you a competent driver? Could you do with more money? Unable to take on a permanent position due to other commitments?
Royal Mail are now recruiting casual staff to sort and deliver the mail who may also be required to drive. If you hold a full driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points and are able to work to tight deadlines whilst being friendly, professional and customer focused, you are the type of person we’re looking for.
Pay Rate: £5.95 per hour
Contract Length: 12 weeks
Hours of work: As and when required
You’ll be an integral part of our business, someone who has the flexibility to work on a casual short-term basis during times of pressure or staff shortages. You’ll work for up to 12 weeks, as and when required, with no fixed shift pattern or guaranteed hours. However a typical shift would be 7:30am - 14:00pm.
You will usually start by sorting the mail in a loud busy environment so you can deliver it later that day. You’ll deliver the mail in all weathers on foot, bike or vehicle, travelling 6 to 8 miles each day and carrying around 8 heavy mailbags a day (weighing up to 16kg). Delivery roles always involve a high degree of physical activity.
When driving, you’ll collect mail from Post Office branches, businesses and post-boxes, transporting it to mail centres, delivery offices and airports.
You need to consider how you will get to work each morning, as public transport may not be available.
Does this appeal to you? Do you have the drive and dedication we need? Do you want to work for a company that has been around for 350 years and delivers to every address in the UK? If so, this position may be for you.
Please note, once our maximum number of applications has been reached, this vacancy will be withdrawn.

A quiet time of year for all the east europian fruit pickers around there so there should be plenty of applicants.

You know what, I often wonder for long periods of time, why HRH even allows our company to bear her initials in its logo??

From what I can gather, the 'Royal' in Royal Mail's name originates from the expression, 'A Right Royal F*ck Up'. I did get this info from Wikipedia so it's probably incorrect.just_nuke_it wrote:You know what, I often wonder for long periods of time, why HRH even allows our company to bear her initials in its logo??
