The Collection Driver role:
You'll start your day within the Collection Unit of Tonbridge delivery office before taking out your van / transit to complete your round. You'll each be given a hand-held computer device to capture customer signatures for collections.
You will mainly be collecting parcels from customers so this will require manual handling.

You may also be asked to work from other local depots.
About You:
Upbeat and self-motivated, you'll be as happy working alone as you will be working as part of a team and getting to know the different people on your round. You'll have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible working patterns will appeal to you.
We deliver and collect parcels come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, you'll also be someone who likes the idea of doing a job that will help you keep fit.
Some experience in a customer facing role would be ideal.
