5 year work and address history

Post by staywarmstayfree »

Hi all

So I've got my date for induction etc and literally just sent off my address and work history. Out of curiosity, why is it they need this information? I've had 13 addresses in the past 5 years so took aaaages to complete, seems a bit intense!

Maybe because Royal Mail needs to know who gets a job wich involves handling parcels with expensive content, special deliveries,letters with monies in them, etc.
They also do a DBS check, I find it totally normal and necessary :)
