Angard Vacs - Casual Mail Sorters

[Budfrog]

I have just seen that Angard are now recruiting for casual mail sorters at a number of locations throughout the country:

At my nearest Mail Centre (Dorset) they are offering the wage range of £6.50 to £6.50 per hour. From what I have seen some of the mail centres where these Vacs are being recruited (eg Swindon) for have also been looking for FT staff to apply for VR. Technically when RM gets rid of a person on VR they should be getting rid of that post by law (or by bumping another job holder whose job has been removed onto that post). If the Angard recruits are being brought in to cover the workload previously covered by FT staff who have left this must be against the terms upon which VR has been granted. The fact that an hourly rate of only £6.50 is being offered means that these can only be temporary positions which really makes RM no better than Whistl when it comes to looking after new starters.

Our Client
Royal Mail is one of the largest UK companies and every working day, they collect process and deliver around 71 million items to over 28 million addresses.

Your Role
In the mail centre you will cover various indoor roles in a warehouse environment and could be unloading mail from vans, moving it around in trolleys, sorting parcels and letters manually or operating machinery.

A mail centre can process over a million items in a shift and you’ll be a valuable part of making that happen.

This is pretty standard. Angard are always advertising for new casuals but at a lot of MCs they just go in to a pool of existing Angards, there probably isn't any more work, just more to call from.With Angard Its always been minimum wage for 12 weeks then RM rates


The way things are going at Dorset there wont be much work for Angard casuals as they advertising for "fixed hour jobs " but not through the usual channels. They should have notified AWR casuals (by law) of the duties if there are any (assuming Regualrs don't want to do them) but they have cut out the possibility of permanising casuals by advertising these jobs (below) outside, which are not for RM rates, to start with at least.
