Royal Mail are now recruiting for drivers in Leicester Distribution.
Job Reference Number 322457
As the face of Royal Mail, you will work from 04:50 - 22:00 to 14:50 - 06:00 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. Much of your day will be spent driving; you will be collecting bulk mail from major customers, Post Offices, and transporting mail between our Mail Centres and Delivery offices at prearranged times. 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. You’ll have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible shift patterns will appeal. We deliver mail come rain or shine, so we’re looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, and because there is walking involved in every round, 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 C1 Category licence (in your current UK address), having less than 6 penalty points is essential but ideally a clean licence is preferred. You must have obtained your Periodic Driver Certificate of Professional Competence qualification (CPC) and hold a valid Drivers Qualification Card (DQC) with 35 hours training to be eligible to apply and will need to be able to present your Digital Tachograph Card if selected for assessment.
Pay and Benefits
You will be paid weekly, plus overtime and shift allowance if applicable.
Salary: £602.60 per week pro rata
Hours of work: 20 hours per week, Saturday and Sunday - Saturday Start 04:50 - 14:50, Sunday 22:00 - 06:00

4. Full uniform provided for contracts of longer than 3 months
