Postperson with Driving

Job Description

A Postperson with Driving collects, sorts and delivers letters and parcels safely and efficiently across an assigned area. The role involves driving a Royal Mail vehicle, walking delivery routes, handling mail in different weather conditions and providing courteous service to customers. Candidates typically need a full, valid UK driving licence, good road awareness, physical fitness and the ability to work independently while meeting delivery targets. Reliability, punctuality, good communication skills and basic reading, writing and organisational abilities are expected. Previous delivery or customer-service experience can be helpful but is not always required. Flexibility is important because shifts may include early mornings, weekends and busy seasonal periods.
