  • Return undelivered parcels to the depot with a reason code
  • Bank cheques, post documents and run office errands
  • Load parcels in route order from the depot scanning area

  • Polite with customers at the door
  • Smartphone and comfortable using delivery apps
  • At least 1 year of driving experience
  • Clean driving record and no criminal record

Nice if you have

What's in it for you

  • Per-drop incentive on busy days

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): Code 8 or motorbike licence copy, certified ID and a recent proof of address plus a CV with any delivery or courier work.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 5 working days.

How to stand out
