Parcelforce Collection & Delivery Driver
Royal Mail Chester-le-Street
Royal Mail is something special, a well–loved brand people can rightly be proud of. We have the assets, the infrastructure and the scale that others don’t, yet we are a big part of the communities we operate in, making billions of precious deliveries each year.
It’s important that you’re able to lift and carry parcels weighing up to 30kg. It’s essential that you have a full UK manual driving licence (in your current UK address) covering up to 3.5 tonnes (Cat B). In an ideal world you’ll have a clean licence but it definitely shouldn’t have more than 6 penalty points.
As a result, we will provide you with your interview questions ahead of the interview taking place, to allow you time to prepare in advance. We want to be transparent about what kind of qualities we are looking for and what a job with Parcelforce entails.
Our people are at the heart of our business and are integral to helping us to utilise the latest technology and business approaches to optimise, automate and digitise our operations.
