You should have a strong sense of community and the idea of doing a job that involves flexible working patterns will appeal to you. Royal Mail delivers come rain or shine, so we're looking for people who like being outdoors whatever the weather, you should also be someone who likes the idea of doing a job that will help you keep fit.
