The Postal Delivery Driver (Postie) delivers letters and parcels safely and efficiently to homes and businesses, usually on foot or by van and in all weather conditions. Candidates generally need a full UK driving licence if the role involves driving, good fitness, reliability, punctuality, and the ability to work independently. A strong customer-service attitude, basic communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage time and routes are expected. The role may require lifting and carrying mail, working early mornings or weekends, and passing company checks and training. Previous delivery or customer-service experience can be useful but is not always essential.
