Postal worker

About the job:
You'll start your day for an hour or so in the local delivery office, sorting the mail for your route, before completing a shift of multi-drop parcel delivery (up to 60 drops per day) using vehicles up to transit size. You will be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for deliveries and will also act as your routing system putting your round in the most economical route, telling you which house to go to next. This will be at the Preston Central or Preston South site so must live locally.

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.
