Royal Mail are now looking for Delivery and Collection people to distribute and collect parcels and letters in the Swanscombe area during the Christmas peak period.
 
This is a temporary but potentially ongoing role, with immediate starts available subject to DBS checks.

Pay: £13.37phr 
Working: 5 to 7 shifts each week - Monday to Sunday
Hours: vary depending on location (typically 4 to 8 hrs per day)

Working for one of the best-loved brands, Royal Mail. Workers will be required to bring letters and parcels to people around the country, something that communities across the UK rely on. Royal Mail are strong with 500 years of history and are hugely proud of the service they provide.

You'll start your day for an hour or so in the local delivery office, sorting the mail for your route, before taking out your van to complete your round. You'll 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.

The ideal candidate will be upbeat and self-motivated, and as happy working alone as you will be working as part of a team, as well as getting to know the different people on your round. You should have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible working patterns will appeal to you. Royal Mail delivers come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, you should also be someone who likes the idea of doing a job that will help you keep fit.

As a Delivery Person, you will need the following:

 

• Full UK Driving licence, with no more than six points.
• Must be able to work Saturdays & Sundays
• Excellent customer service skills.
• Good level of fitness to meet demands of the role.
• Excellent organisational skills.
• Resilience and flexibility.
