Courier career options
Interested in working in the courier industry? There are three main options for a rewarding and flexible career with Evri to suit you and your commitments.
Lifestyle Courier
Time is precious and we believe in giving our Couriers great flexibility. If you’re looking for fewer hours to fit in around your busy lifestyle and family commitments then a role as a self-employed Lifestyle courier might be a good choice...
Flexibility
- Take on shifts that suit your schedule. The perfect side hustle to earn a bit of extra cash.
Pick hours to suit you
- This role involves largely working on an ad-hoc basis and providing holiday cover for other couriers.
The more you work, the more you earn
- Take on as many rounds as you like – there’s no limit.
- The only things you need to get going are a smartphone and a medium-sized car or van with enough space for the day’s parcel deliveries.
Self-Employed + Courier
If you’re able to offer a little more commitment and would prefer a regular delivery round, why not work with Evri as a self-employed courier and join thousands of other couriers who enjoy the benefits of our SE+ contract...
Flexible schedule
- You can choose a regular delivery schedule and will have the convenience of delivering and collecting parcels in your local area.
Work/life balance
- Flexible hours mean you can continue to plan your hours around other commitments while working as a self-employed courier.
Great benefits
- As a Self-employed Plus (SE+) courier you’ll get up to 28 days paid holiday, National Living Wage, and the option of union support (GMB).
Build your network
- Because you’ll have a regular round, you’ll get to know people and play a key part of your local community.
Large Courier Business
If you want even greater control over how and when you work and would like to run a team, this could be a good option. Benefits include...
Grow your own business
- – and reap the rewards!
Be in control
- You’ll get to take on employees, help train them up and coordinate their work.
Full Evri support
- You’ll have the full support of a dedicated Evri Community Delivery Manager who’ll be able to help and guide you every step of the way.
A day in the life
So, what does a courier do? Here’s a flavour of what a typical day might look like as an Evri courier...
Manifest
You’re likely to start the day by logging in to the delivery app and downloading your manifest. This details how many parcel deliveries and collections you have on your round.
Collect parcels
Then you would visit your local Delivery Unit where you’ll be collecting all the parcels to be delivered that day.
Scan parcels
Next, you’ll scan the parcels and load up your vehicle, placing the parcels in the correct delivery order. Then it’s time to set your schedule and plan in some breaks. These schedules advise customers when they will receive their parcel. You can deliver parcels up to 9pm.
Deliver parcels
It’s time to hit the road and make your deliveries!
