Ready to find out what it really means to be a Postie? We’re not just delivering letters and parcels; we’re shaping the future of Royal Mail.
Each year, we make billions of deliveries possible. In all weathers, we show up. For every person, from every walk of life, we deliver. Because it’s not just packages, it’s people. From exam results and tax returns, to wedding invites or online purchases. The excited faces that open front doors and the small businesses run from bedrooms. You could be part of it. Part of the fabric of the nation, bringing trust to the doorstep. Instantly recognisable. A Postie.
A typical day
It’s a very physical job – but it keeps you fit. Every day, you’ll begin at the Delivery Office sorting letters and parcels for delivery. Then you’ll load up your van and set off into the local community. You’ll get your steps in delivering door to door. You might also collect mail from customers and our cherished letter boxes along the way before returning to the office.
