Looking for work? Take a look at our Penarth Nub News jobs section which lists current vacancies in and around the area.

Each week, we will be highlighting one of those jobs and featuring it on our website and social media.

Local employers are encouraged to Nub their jobs for a small fee.

For this week's instalment, we've selected a role with the Royal Mail.

Here's what they have to say about it:

From scorching summer days to the depths of winter, our postal workers play a vital role, delivering the mail. It's a physically demanding job – but it's one the nation relies on. Here, you will:

Work part-time hours between the hours of 0800 and 1800

Cover periods of leave for a fixed number of routes (so you'll need to be a bit flexible)

Sort the mail for your route

Check your vehicle and join a colleague for your round

Spend between four and six hours delivering mail outdoors

About you

Upbeat and self-motivated: You'll be happy working solo as well as part of a team.

Love of the outdoors: From rural farms to city apartments, corner shops to business parks, whatever the weather (and, this being Britain, it can get quite extreme) we're there, six days a week. That means you'll need to be happy being out and about.

Good level of fitness: There's up to six hours per day of walking, so you should relish a role that keeps you fit.

Excellent organisation: You will need to be able to plan your round and make sure you complete all your deliveries in good time.

Resilience: You will be able to work under pressure and with the public, acting as a friendly face that people know and trust.

Flexibility: You will be working in different areas covering your colleagues' holidays, so you might need to adjust your working hours to match your round.

A full UK manual driving licence (in your current UK address), with no more than six penalty points is essential, but a clean licence is preferred. Please note you will be required to show this at assessment.
