Day-to-day operating brief

What Mail Sorter work looks like in practice

A Mail Sorter receives, separates, scans, routes and dispatches letters and parcels within a depot, office or shared mailroom. The work may involve early shifts, repetitive handling, sorting machinery, personal information and tracked or valuable items. Terms should define sites, volumes, shifts, delivery rounds, address checks, scanning systems, cages and equipment, manual handling, undeliverable items, restricted contents, suspicious-package procedures and proof of dispatch. Routing schemes should be updated when teams move, with old labels removed so repeated misdirection does not become normal. Tracked items require a positive custody handoff, not unattended placement on a desk. Returned or undeliverable post can contain valuable identity information and should remain protected while the business owner is found. Dispatch cut-offs need manifests and container counts reconciled, including items held back after damage, security or address checks.
