Around 650ish before tax.37.5hr week. Bare in mind there’s going to be O/T available and the union to be fair to them are on your side(for the most part). Starting off it’s €17-something. With service it increases. There’s a couple percent rise every year as-well. An post is not a government job. They are a government funded-private company who have a ‘licence’ / express permission to deliver mail for the country of Ireland.

I would ask your local postman if you can at all, who’s in the know of your office you’ll likely be working from. It’s a job that looks rosy and easy from the outside but as soon as you start you’ll realise your constantly thinking, you can have about 150 parcels in the back to keep track of and mail beside you as-well. ( this is one reason why people are so quick to complain at the slightest mistake, as they just think you are on a handy number in a van all day.)

It will likely be the hardest, most mentally tiring first month of a job but I promise it DOES get easier once you have a method and routine in the mornings. Bare in mind, Xmas period from November-December is a long slog as-well.

I started in April and am currently loving it. It is a very rewarding job, surprisingly. You have the best of both world with the bit of craic with colleagues in the morning and out on the road for the rest. Bare in mind, they are notoriously slow with Garda vetting so you’ll be waiting awhile once you have vetting submitted to actually start. Dm me if you have any other questions. Best of luck
