Parcelforce Collection & Delivery Driver - Fixed Term Contract 6 Months
Royal Mail Gillingham
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.
