Company sector:	Transport/Logistics
Pay:	Unknown

Job Description
The Royal Mail modern apprentice programme has been designed with the learning skills council specifically to provide jobs for school leavers (16-18) with little or no current work experience. Our apprenticeships offer you the chance to gain a recognised qualification, whilst earning a competitive salary at the same time. The training scheme lasts for nine months and combines practical and theoretical learning with development. You’ll learn about Royal Mail operations, gain an understanding of the postal business and work towards your NVQ level II qualification in Mail Service Management. Apprentice Postmen and Postwomen These apprenticeships are based in our busy factory-style Delivery Offices, where you’ll arrange the mail so you can deliver it later on. These apprenticeship opportunities will also see you delivering mail on foot and bike – you’ll travel six to eight miles a day, carrying around eight heavy mailbags (weighing up to 10kg). Hours of work will be over 5 days per week Monday to Saturday, and will vary depending on location. Mail Sorters These apprenticeships are based in a loud and busy factory environment, where you’ll need to be able to stand for long periods of time while you sort mail by machine and by hand. You’ll also be lifting and carrying mailbags and boxes that can weigh up to 10kg, as well as pushing containers weighing 250kg.
