A Postperson with Driving collects, sorts and delivers letters and parcels across an assigned route, using a company vehicle or bicycle where required. The role involves working outdoors in varied weather, handling mail safely, completing deliveries accurately and providing polite customer service. Candidates are generally expected to hold a valid UK driving licence, demonstrate safe and responsible driving, have good local route awareness and be physically able to walk, lift and carry items. Reliability, punctuality, teamwork and a flexible attitude are important, as start times and workloads may vary. Previous delivery experience is helpful but is not always required. Candidates must also follow Royal Mail security, safety and confidentiality procedures.

The group serves households, businesses and public-sector customers, connecting communities through extensive delivery and collection networks. Royal Mail employs a large workforce across processing centres, delivery offices, transport operations, customer service and corporate functions. Postpeople are central to its service, representing the company directly in local communities while ensuring mail reaches customers securely and on time. The organisation places emphasis on safety, customer service, operational reliability and responsible working practices. Employment conditions, pay and benefits vary by role, work pattern and location, so applicants should confirm the latest details in the specific vacancy.
