The chances are quite good especially if you can drive. The bad news is permanent jobs are very rare in Royal mail now so they are likely to keep you on a temp contract for a long time!

A couple of threads I found using the search facility (Top right of most forum pages)

http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... ct#p330053" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Casual to proper postie contract time period?

http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... ct#p353462" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; 3 Month Contract

http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 15&t=29002" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; LTB 684 - Temporary Contracts

They should help but if you do a http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/community/search.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; you should be able to refine the results.


I hope you enjoy reading. :Very Happy
