This may sound moronic but it says I'm starting 9.30-2.30 everyday, does this mean someone else sorts my post and I just deliver It? If that's the case initially do they stick you on the same round so you learn it properly? They rang me today and informed me they would like me to work in my local delivery office and not in the one I originally applied for. It's just up my road and will save petrol. I'm hoping it'll initially go in my favour as I'm more familiar with street addresses etc. I wonder if I'll be delivering my own post!l
Thanks, Sarah
Normally they do keep you on one duty for around 6 - 8 weeks at the start, just so that you get a hang of the basics and to build up your and their confidence, but not always. After that it depends on how your office is managed, you could become a reserve covering all and any duty (at least it has variety).

If you do deliver your own mail there are procedures to follow. But basically and officially you treat it like any other mail and deliver it as normal, if you do "extract it" before the delivery point, you must get the managers permission and get them to initial the mail before you open it. This is mainly to protect yourself as delaying the mail, or opening it without permission (even if it is yours) is technically a crime.
