- MyBundle+ discounts and offers helping you save on everyday items, days out, and more.
- Discounted RMG products and free stamps at Christmas
- Please note: For candidate search purposes, roles offering between 35-37 hours per week are listed as full-time. However, any role under 37 hours per week will be classified as part-time in the employment contract.
- As a Postie, you’re expected to securely deliver all items on your route, including handling and delivering election materials and certain items (such as food products or alcohol) in line with Royal Mail business standards.
