Manpower jobs at royalmail
Morning all,
They are advertising for collections drivers, m-f, 15.00- 19.00, temp work, working out of delivery offices.
Do these jobs exist or are they just trying to create a pool of potential workers like angard do.
Would there be opportunities to increase the hours/overtime.?
I have read the negative and positive opinions here about working for RM at the moment., but these temp jobs may suit me.
Thanks for any thoughts

If it’s temp go for it
You can always walk away if you don’t like it
In the future If they offer you a contract you may have to work Sundays etc

Re: Manpower jobs at royalmail
The jobs do exist out of some delivery offices, they class them as collection hubs, there's quite a lot fewer of them these days as last year loads of postbox collections were added on to deliveries, bare in mind it's a 6 day operation, the guy who turns up at a post office on my walk says his Saturday shift ends at 7pm, as mentioned it's temporary so nothing to lose, it'll almost certainly be working from a larger office that do late parcels and Sunday parcels so if thats your thing maybe you could enquire for extra/alternative work.

Re: Manpower jobs at royalmail
The office I worked in used to use ManPower and a few other agencies. In the whole time I was there, there was never anyone from Angard.

I work at a larger DO it’s a collection hub. I recently moved from manpower to a contract when I was with manpower I worked with collections so those shifts do exist but I used to do 1 to 7 or 2 to 8

Re: Manpower jobs at royalmail
Manpower are a real company. Just don't count on them knowing the exact hours you are required to work. Vague, blurry, indeterminate should be applied to how much Manpower knows about RM. They'll try to hoover you up and get you signed and hand you over and then the hours could well change. However, if this isn't a big problem go for it - like it; or lump it; or leave!davekent1970 wrote: ↑01 Feb 2024, 08:59Morning all,

Update
After applying, providing references and having a dbs check - it all went quiet !!
Manpower did call me after 6 weeks, left message, i called them back and left message, they did not call me back.
I had a feeling when i applied that i would end up being treated like s__t and my time being wasted, similar to Angard

Re: Manpower jobs at royalmail
Do you know what DO the job was for, if so, then it may be worthwhile wandering into their office one morning and asking a manager if there are any collections job available, or likely to be available anytime soon. Our DO seems to have a constant stream of collection drivers leaving.davekent1970 wrote: ↑30 Apr 2024, 10:15Update
