Job Description

Do you enjoy working as a team as well as alone? Are you passionate about customer service?

Royal Mail are now recruiting Postmen/Postwomen to sort and deliver the mail. If you are able to work to tight deadlines while maintaining a professional and positive image, you are the type of person we’re looking for.

Contract length: Permanent

Hours of work: 25 hours per week, 9.00-14.00 5 days across Monday - Saturday

You will start by sorting the mail in a loud, busy environment, arranging the mail so you can deliver it accurately later on. You will work in all weathers delivering mail on foot or by bike. You will travel 6 to 8 miles each day carrying around 8 heavy mailbags a day (weighing up to 16kg).

As part of your duty you may be expected to ride a bicycle confidently in all weathers and in heavy traffic

The role involves working at offices in the surrounding area covering delivery roles. You must be flexible and able to travel to different offices at short notice.

You need to consider how you will get to work each morning, as public transport may not be available that early in the day.

Does this appeal to you? Do you have the drive and dedication we need and do you want to work for a company that has stood the test of time? If so, this position may be for you. Royal Mail has been around for 350 years and delivers to every address in the UK.

Royal Mail provides a competitive salary and offers an excellent benefits package.

If selected for assessment you may be required to attend a Document Checking Session. If your documentation is complete you will then be invited to attend an interview at a later date.

Please note, once our maximum number of applications has been reached, this vacancy will be withdrawn.

You must be flexible and able to travel to different offices at short notice.

You've got to be joking, if they asked me to move to a different office I'd tell them to :lfo :cfo
