Postal Worker

A Postal Worker sorts letters, parcels and other mail ready for delivery. You’ll receive mail collected from post offices and post boxes and process it according to type, destination and other factors. Postal Workers might prepare sorted mail for delivery and package it for collection. You might sort mail manually or use electronic sorting equipment.

Postal Workers should be able to focus for long periods of time and follow correct procedures during their duties. It’s important you can work as part of a team and communicate clearly when required. Postal Workers must be able to manage their time and prioritise their workload.
