I work for Royal Mail as a class1 driver, best job in the world bar none!!! (I’d been in social care management for 20 odd years previously)
Get treated really well by RM, the work is nice and clean, well organised, the pay is excellent and I love it. Do regular runs to Warrington Rail terminal, excellent bunch of workers and management up there. It is near impossible to get a start with RM without being employed by them already in some other capacity ie postman, even then it’s a long and tiresome process due to delivery managers being reluctant to release you. They do use agency drivers regularly but only through Pertemps I believe, so get signed on with them. As agency you are entitled to the same rates as permanent drivers after a few weeks work.
All the best with your future career.
