Seasonal Mail Sorters – Edinburgh Mail Centre & Edinburgh Royal Highland Centre

Christmas brings festive cheer to Royal Mail, along with plenty of extra items to deliver, so it’s important for us to bring people together and find a few extra pairs of hands to join our team.

The festive period is our busiest time of year, and without our seasonal workers, delivering the magic of Christmas wouldn’t be possible. Whether it’s the Christmas card from a loved one or the gift they’ve always wanted, we deliver more to our customers – and you can too as a Seasonal Mail Sorter, all while earning some extra cash to fill your Christmas stocking.

These role are based at either:

• Edinburgh Mail Centre, 11 Cutlins Road, Edinburgh, EH11 4YY
• Royal Highland Centre, Ingliston Road, Ingliston, Newbridge, Midlothian, EH28 8NB

Pay and shift patterns

Most sites offer a range of shifts, so finding one that suits you should be simple. Typical shift patterns include:

• Early: 06:00 – 14:00 (£12.29 p/h)
• Lates: 14:00 – 22:00 (£13.63 p/h)
• Nights: 22:00 – 06:00 (£14.81 p/h)
• Weekends: Various shifts available (as above p/h)

As well as pay and flexible shifts, many of our sites also offer onsite canteen facilities, breakout areas and access to a subsidised gym.
