Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk – Canada Post – Yarmouth, NS

Canada Post is hiring in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia — and this is your chance to become a familiar face in your community. With 4 vacancies available for the combined Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk role, this temporary on-call position is a genuine foot in the door at one of Canada’s most recognized organizations. Whether you’re out on a route delivering parcels or inside a sorting facility keeping mail moving, you’ll be doing work that matters to millions of Canadians every single day.

This dual-function role means you could be called upon for on-call delivery agent work — hitting the streets of Yarmouth to bring mail and packages to homes and businesses — or for on-call postal clerk duties inside a sorting facility. Shifts can include days, evenings, overnights, and weekends, so flexibility is key. It’s physically active, community-facing work that gives you a real look at how Canada Post’s delivery operations function from the inside out.

About the Role: Letter Carrier – Delivery Agent and Postal Clerk

As a Delivery Agent, your day begins at the depot where you’ll sort and prepare deliveries before loading up a Canada Post postal vehicle. From there, you’re out in the community — delivering mail and packages by foot or by vehicle along your assigned route. At the end of your shift, you’ll return to unload incoming mail and parcels for the next round of deliveries.

In the Postal Clerk capacity, the work moves indoors to a sorting facility. You’ll be responsible for sorting, scanning, and sequencing mail items, operating material handling equipment, receiving and accepting mail, and ensuring parcels and packets are properly transferred and dispatched. Accuracy, attention to detail, and the ability to work varied shifts — including nights and weekends — are essential in keeping operations running smoothly.

Benefits and Salary

This role pays $23.81 per hour. Beyond the hourly wage, Canada Post provides extensive classroom and on-the-job training to set you up for success. One of the real advantages of starting here is the pathway it creates — this temporary on-call position comes with opportunities for permanent employment and the chance to grow within the organization or explore other roles across different areas of the company.

Responsibilities

In this combined role, your day-to-day tasks shift depending on whether you’re assigned delivery or postal clerk duties. Both streams are physically engaging and operationally important — together they keep Canada Post’s delivery network running reliably across the Yarmouth region.

• Load and operate a Canada Post postal vehicle safely and efficiently

A valid driver’s licence and a clean driving record are non-negotiable for the delivery side of this role, and a flexible schedule is essential given the on-call nature of the position.

• Valid Class 5 or Class G driver’s licence with a safe driving record for a minimum of 3 years (driver’s abstract required)
• Physical fitness to lift mail items up to 22.7 kg (50 lb) and carry items up to 15.9 kg (35 lb) regularly throughout the shift
