ABOUT US
We believe great things are possible and we make them happen. Royal Mail impacts people and businesses in more than 71 million ways daily. The only company that delivers to every address in the UK, we bring people closer together, help independent businesses grow and make large corporations work better, connecting companies and customers worldwide. We’re driven to take people further; to empower our customers and colleagues to make their futures whatever they want.
THE ROLE
You’ll be the person who picks up the action while our permanent manager is on annual leave. This means overseeing the Delivery operation and ensuring the smooth running of the delivery team. You'll lead and inspire a team of front-line colleagues to work efficiently and provide excellent service at the doorstep.
Our operation needs to be resilient, and we need the flexibility to be able to keep things running smoothly when our permanent managers are unavailable. You’ll play an integral part in building trust with customers.
Shift pattern: Monday - Saturday with one rolling day off.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
We’re asking for a lot, but you’ll get a lot in return. First, there’s the 10% on-target bonus, generous holiday allowance, flexible working, pension scheme, and an excellent parental leave policy. Then there are all the excellent benefits that come with MyBundle, such as the Cycle2work scheme, and corporate discounts including retail vouchers, travel & attraction discounts, gym membership, and more. This is a great steppingstone into operational management with a company that can offer a range of exciting career paths. And that’s before we’ve even mentioned the great sense of pride you’ll feel from being part of one of the world’s most recognisable brands as we undergo a historic transformation, transitioning from a letters business to a parcels business.
ABOUT YOU
This is a role packed full of influence, challenges, and responsibility, so we need someone who is flexible and can excel under pressure. Customer-focused, team player, results-driven, inspiring leader – you know how to get the best out of our people and deliver the best to our customers. You can empathise, motivate, coach, and collaborate, and will relish the opportunity to be part of our historic transformation from a letters business to a parcels business, whether that’s through reduced cost, innovative work practices, or data-driven ideas. We’re looking to you to bring your skills and experience to make brilliant things possible.
