Job Description
An Post is currently recruiting temporary postal operatives for the Christmas period. The rate of pay is €15.27 per hour and also attracts a shift premium where applicable.
About An Post
The rapid growth of technology has created challenges but also opportunities for our business as communication moves online and we rapidly head towards a cashless society. As the digital world closes one door on our mail business with e-substitution, it opens another with the world of eCommerce. We’re changing from one world to another, requiring us to make bold strategic moves to become a sustainable, profitable business.
An Post has successfully restructured the company into two world-class businesses, An Post Mails & Parcels and An Post Retail, each with its own management team and long-term strategy. The Mails & Parcels Business is rapidly growing its eCommerce and mail marketing businesses, offsetting declining mail volumes, while still delivering the highest quality postal service to every home and business in Ireland. The business plays a fundamental role in Irish economic life as the backbone of eCommerce, making sure that communities across Ireland have the same access to goods as in major world cities.
