Our Operations team collects, processes and delivers over 80 million items to 27 million addresses every day. Because the mail never stops, our operations people need to be engaged and motivated on a round-the-clock basis.
It takes a special calibre of graduate to meet this challenge but if you’re up for it, this area of the organisation offers outstanding opportunities to have your talent and potential recognised.
Our Operations team collects, processes and delivers over 80 million items to 27 million addresses every day. Because the mail never stops, nor does our operations team, working round the clock to deliver to our customers.
As a graduate in this area, you’ll face demanding challenges most graduates don’t encounter until far later in their careers. For example, in your first placement (you’ll have up to three over the 12-18 month programme), you’ll find yourself managing a team of 15-20 people. That could be as a Work Area Manager in a mail centre or Delivery Manager in a delivery office. As a proving ground, it’s unrivalled and within seven years you could be managing Royal Mail Operations as part of an Area Management Team.
What you’ll need
Back a 2:2 degree or above with drive, energy and resilience and you’ll be off to a good start. The ability to motivate and inspire a team is also essential and we’re looking for a flexible attitude to relocation. All of which should be complemented by the right to work in the UK for at least 3 years from the programme start date.
The rewards
You’ll earn a starting salary of £24,000 and have the chance to earn bonuses. With enjoy extensive training and development opportunities, you’ll be offered the support you need to gain professional qualifications.
