Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.

The Postal Delivery Driver (Postie) delivers letters and parcels safely and efficiently across an assigned route in Bury St. Edmunds. Candidates generally need a full UK driving licence, a safe driving record, good physical fitness, and the ability to work outdoors in changing weather. Previous delivery or customer-service experience is useful but not always essential, as training is normally provided. The role requires reliability, punctuality, route-planning ability, and confidence working independently.

Flexibility may be required for early starts, weekend work, and increased workloads during busy periods.
