The Parcelforce Collection & Delivery Driver collects and delivers parcels safely and efficiently across the Milton Keynes area, provides professional customer service, completes delivery records, and may load and unload items. Candidates are expected to hold a valid UK driving licence suitable for the assigned vehicle, drive safely in varied traffic and weather conditions, and meet required security and background checks. The role suits someone reliable, physically capable, organised, and comfortable working independently to strict delivery schedules. Good communication skills, a customer-focused attitude, and flexibility around working hours are important. Previous delivery or logistics experience can be helpful, although relevant training may be provided.
Can I work in the UK?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Warehouse, driver and operations jobs are below degree level and cannot be sponsored; only managers can, and logistics managers only while on the shortage list.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Logistics managers are on the interim shortage list today, but the July 2026 review did not recommend them from January 2027. Youth schemes are the usual way in for Canadians, Australians and Indians.
