What people are saying

We’re proud of the size and scale of our network. The delivery vans and lorries you spot every day on roads around the country. Our drivers collect and deliver as part of the UK’s biggest delivery network. Royal Mail and Parcelforce Worldwide are transforming side by side, and you can be part of it. Join our team of professional drivers transporting letters and parcels around the country. While you might be working solo, you won’t be on your own. Our parcel hubs are a hive of activity and support. We keep our fleet running smoothly and our schedules on track, so that you can always deliver safely and on time.

Heading

While posties make sure every letter and parcel reaches the doorstep, our professional drivers are the unsung heroes who kickstart the day. They move letters and parcels to every delivery office in the UK, ready for sorting when the posties begin their shifts. By picking up and dropping off large volumes of deliveries at a variety of sites nationwide, they form an essential network that keeps the mail moving and our communities connected.

Typical roles

Sales team help Phenom customers reach their business potential.

Class 1 and Class 2 LGV drivers

Whether they’re driving an articulated vehicle or an 18t rigid, our LGV drivers start their day at one of our Vehicle Operating Centres, where they receive their instructions and deliveries.

To apply, you must hold a valid UK Large Goods Vehicle Class 1 licence (C+E), or Class 2 (C) registered to your current address, with less than 6 penalty points. You should also be comfortable working a variety of shifts on a rotational rota, including night driving, weekends, and bank holidays.

MGV drivers

To drive our MGV-size fleet, you must hold a valid UK Category C1 licence registered to your current address, with less than 6 penalty points. You should also be comfortable working a variety of shifts on a rotational rota, including night driving, weekends, and bank holidays.

What does the role look like?

  • Their routes might take them to mail centres, parcel hubs, super hubs, or local delivery offices, where they’ll load and unload their vehicle. They also handle customer collections, picking up larger deliveries from a location chosen by the customer.
  • Although they often work solo, they’re never alone. Their manager, fellow drivers and colleagues all stay in touch and support each other, so they always have someone looking out for them.
  • We run a 24/7 operation, but while there’s plenty of weekend and evening driving, we ensure our drivers never have to stay overnight. Their last delivery is always scheduled so they can make it home when they’re done.
