Part-time Mail Carrier

Working days

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, working days by agreement

What will you do?

A job with more freedom than that of a mail carrier? There isn't one. As a mail carrier, you work independently in your own neighborhood and decide for yourself each day what your working hours are. Picking up your (grand)children from school, exercising, or taking an exam in between? No problem!

This is what your workday as a mail carrier looks like:

• You start by collecting the mail from the depot in your neighborhood. The mail is ready and you only have to put it in your bicycle bags: everything has already been neatly sorted by street and house number. What time do you pick up the mail? You decide, as long as it is before 15:00.
• Then you cycle and walk your route. Right in your own neighborhood. And at the times that suit you best. As long as the mail is stored safely, you can exercise or have dinner in between. The only requirement is that all the mail is in the mailboxes by 18:00 at the latest.

Another nice thing about being a mail carrier: You work independently, but never feel alone. You quickly become a familiar face in the neighborhood and build good relationships with residents and colleagues. And because you are active, you improve your fitness without even noticing!

What do you bring?

Anyone aged 16 or over can become a mail carrier. You are aware that you are the face of PostNL. You therefore work accurately and take a customer-oriented approach. In addition:

• You are available for at least 7 months.
• You are fit enough to walk and cycle through your neighborhood for a few hours and lift mail bags weighing up to 23 kilos.
• You have a sturdy bicycle with an iron luggage rack.
• You speak Dutch or English well. This is so you can communicate with your colleagues and supervisor.
• You have a smartphone to use during your work.
• You are flexible enough to cover different neighborhoods on foot. After all, you do not always have a fixed route.
• If you start working with us, you will need a Verklaring Omtrent Gedrag (VOG). Of course, we will reimburse you for this.
