Are you a competent driver? Do you enjoy working as a team as well as alone? Are you passionate about customer service?
Royal Mail are now recruiting Postmen and Postwomen who will also be required to drive. If you hold a full driving licence with no more than 6 penalty points and are able to work to tight deadlines whilst being friendly, professional and customer focused, you are the type of person we’re looking for.
Contract length: Temporary for 6 months
Hours of work: 40 per week, 5 days across Monday to Saturday. You will be working 6.00am to 2.00pm but may be asked to work any shift pattern between 6.00am to 6.00pm. You may also be asked to work at other local offices within the Huntingdon area.
First, you'll sort the mail in a busy factory-style environment, arranging the mail so you can deliver it later on.
When delivering mail on foot and bike you will travel 6 to 8 miles, carrying around 8 heavy mailbags a day (weighing up to 16kg). You should be able to ride a bicycle confidently in all weathers, and in heavy traffic.
When driving, you’ll collect mail from Post Office branches, businesses and post-boxes, transporting it to mail centres, delivery offices and airports.
Does this appeal to you? Do you have the drive and dedication we need? Do you want to work for a company that has been around for 350 years and delivers to every address in the UK? If so, this position may be for you.
Royal Mail provides a competitive salary and offers an excellent benefits package.
If selected for assessment you may be required to attend a Document Checking Session. If your documentation is complete you will then be invited to attend an interview at a later date.
Please note, once our maximum number of applications has been reached, this vacancy will be withdrawn.
