Postal Delivery Driver
Posted 10/07/2024 by Pertemps Didcot
Postal Delivery Driver
Location: Witney
Hours: 08:00-17:00 (finish times vary) / 5-6 shifts per week / Monday to Sunday
Hourly Rate: £13.37 Mondays to Saturdays / £14.49 Sundays
About the role
You'll start your day for an hour or so in the local delivery office, sorting the mail for your route, before either taking out your van to complete your round or making your way out on foot. You'll each be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries and the round will take around four hours to complete. The hand-held computer will also act as your routing system putting your round in the most economical route, telling you which house to go to next.
About You
Upbeat and self-motivated, you'll be as happy working alone as you will be working as part of a team and getting to know the different people on your round. You'll have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible working patterns will appeal to you.
We deliver parcels come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, you'll also be someone who likes the idea of doing a job that will help you keep fit.
Some experience in a customer facing role would be ideal.
Driving licence requirements
A full UK manual driving licence (in your current UK address), with no more than six penalty points is essential, but a clean licence is preferred. Endorsements not accepted are DD/DR/CD/IN.
Routes may be on foot rather than in a van and may include either parcels, post or a mixture of both.
Saturdays are a busy day for the depot, therefore there must be a willingness to work Saturdays, for which you will be given a day off in the week where required.
This position is temporary ongoing, which can lead to a full-time permanent position with Royal Mail.
