Candidates typically need a full UK driving licence, a safe driving record, good local knowledge, and the ability to drive a delivery vehicle confidently. The role requires physical fitness, as it involves walking, lifting and carrying items in varying weather conditions. Royal Mail expects reliable, customer-focused people who can work independently, manage delivery schedules, use handheld technology and communicate courteously with customers and colleagues. Flexibility is important because shifts may include weekends, seasonal peaks and changing workloads.
