As the face of Royal Mail you will work as part of a team ensuring we continue to deliver the high standards of service our customers expect.
About the Role
As a member of our driving team, you will be the public face of Royal Mail and an established part of the community.

Part of the role will be loading and unloading your van and sorting it into correct onward distribution.
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.
