The Royal Mail is hiring three posties on the Scottish islands of Skye, Mull, and Islay, and the positions would suit those looking to live a simpler life away from the hustle and bustle.

The British postal service is looking to hire postpeople on the Isle of Skye, the Isle of Mull, and Islay. The positions will be based in the towns of Portree, Tobermory, and Port Ellen respectively.

As well as being able to work in idyllic surroundings, benefits of the jobs include 22.5 days of holiday a year, overtime paid at 1.25x the normal hourly rate, and enhanced maternity pay, paternity leave, and adoption leave. The successful applicants will also receive numerous discounts, such as high street vouchers and savings on beauty products and gym membership.

The Royal Mail job listings read: "Each year, we make billions of deliveries possible. Whatever the weather, come rain or shine, we show up.

"Because for us, it’s personal. For every person, from every walk of life, we deliver.

"From exam results and tax returns, to wedding invites or online purchases. You could be part of it."

Are they advertising these jobs as 'pay 10% above the market average in our sector' because if so should be more like 'pay 10p above the minimum wage'

It's doing about 74 miles a day over a 6 day week. The frame must have about 10 houses on it and you spend most of the day driving down single track road!
