Anyone want a Saturday job

Royal Mail are now recruiting Delivery Postmen and Postwomen who may be required to undertake occasional driving duties.

Contract length: 6 Months

Hours of work: 6 hours per week Saturday only, 7am to 1pm.

If you have a full driver’s licence with no more than 6 penalty points and you are able to work to tight deadlines whilst being friendly, professional and customer focused, you are the type of person we’re looking for.

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, bike or occasionally driving. 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.

When driving, you will collect mail from Post Office branches, businesses and post-boxes, transporting it to mail centres and delivery offices.
