About the Parcel Delivery Driver role
You'll start your day in the local delivery office, sorting and gathering the mail needed for your route. You will collect your allocated vehicle and your hand-held computer device (detailing your route and tracking your mail) and then deliver the mail and parcels to your local community. Shift lengths are 6 hours per day.

About You
The ideal candidate for this role will be upbeat, self-motivated, and happy to work alone as well as part of a team. You will be helpful and approachable, displaying a strong sense of community as you get to know the people you meet on your round.

You will be smartly presented, always acting in a professional and courteous manner.

Previous Experience
Some previous experience in a customer-facing or delivery role would be ideal but not essential. You will be required to complete a full DBS security check prior to commencing work.

Maximum 6 penalty points
