Job Description
Self-employed Core Delivery Driver
As one of our Self-Employed Core Delivery Drivers, you'll enjoy freedom, flexibility, and better financial rewards, plus all the support and benefits of being part of our wider Yodel team. No experience is necessary, and the more you deliver, the more you earn.
Why join Yodel
Competitive rates for each parcel you deliver or collect: Typically, our Delivery Drivers can earn between £18 - £20 per hour (paid per parcel). We deliver promises as well as parcels, so we're raising our game to give you more reasons to join us. All rates are competitively enhanced considering business mileage and operational costs.
Daily & Weekly Payment Options: Yodel offers flexible payment options, allowing you to access earnings the next day via an app provided by our early access partner, Onsi, or join the weekly payment cycle after 4 weeks of delivery services. Both options provide more regular payments for your services.
Plenty of parcels to deliver: There are many parcels to deliver, increasing earning opportunities. Parcels weigh up to 15kg and vary in size. You can deliver and collect between 16-25 parcels an hour, depending on area and experience, over 6 days a week. The more you deliver, the more you can earn.
Freedom and flexibility: Plan your own route or use our award-winning app with simple instructions and built-in optimisation to help you plan routes and liaise with customers directly.
Regular work in the same area, 6 days a week: We deliver for major retailers, ensuring a steady flow of parcels. You'll stay local and get to know the roads and customers.
Development and support: Enjoy the independence of being self-employed with the backing of our expert team and access to a Yodel representative for assistance.
