Evri looking for recruits in Castleford ahead of busy festive period
New recruits at Evri can unlock additional perks as the parcel delivery company continues to expand its network of self-employed couriers.
In preparation for what is planned to be another record-breaking festive period, Evri is looking to recruit hundreds of new courier roles in Castleford, which follows a recent £36m investment announcement across the UK.
And while couriers can typically earn up to £18 an hour on average, new recruits looking to join Evri’s existing 30,000-strong self-employed network are eligible to enjoy an enhanced benefits package, which includes a ‘welcome payment’ of up to £1,000*, alongside an additional ‘learning payment’** designed to support new couriers in their training.
Evri is strengthening its workforce in Castleford with a mixture of full-time or flexible roles, with opportunities available beyond the festive period for those interested in building a career with Evri.
Couriers joining the business can benefit from the independence the role brings, with the freedom to deliver parcels daily any time between 8am and 8pm, and with the advantage of rounds available locally, couriers can enjoy the flexibility of managing their work around their personal commitments – whether that be doing the school run or completing errands.
Jack Harrison, Evri Head of Delivery for Yorkshire, said: “Following our recent UK investment announcement, we’re proud to continue our expansion, as we look to strengthen our courier network across Yorkshire.
“We’re currently on track to deliver another record-breaking peak at Evri, and it’s our self-employed couriers who play a vital role in ensuring households across Castleford receive their presents this Christmas.
“Alongside the range of benefits we offer, those interested can enjoy flexible work that fits around their life – whether that be mornings, evenings or weekends – as well as getting the support of a major network with simple onboarding and regular work through peak.”
And among other benefits open to Evri couriers include free access to wellbeing benefits, such as Digital GP and Physio, as well as discounts for major retailers to help save on everyday expenses.
Evri also recently launched a ‘Go Electric’ scheme to incentivise its self-employed couriers to switch to electric vehicles by offering up to £3,300 towards an electric vehicle over two years.
