Hey guys,

Back in December I was looking for driver jobs and found a part time job with Royal Mail. Most of the jobs I had seen required driving experience of at least 1 year although the only thing I could find on Royal Mail's page was saying by law they could not employ anyone under 18.
I was wondering if I had missed something or if I could apply?

Thanks!

No you can apply.

With Royal Mail its only occasional driving and you will undergo a risk assessment of your driving skills.

Royal Mail driving for the vast majority is probably about 5 miles a day mainly made up of parking the, van delivering a trolley of mail, then meeting up with your partner and moving the Van at most probably 1/2 a mile.
