Post Office Assistant (Term) – Canada Post – Saint-Flavien, QC

Saint-Flavien’s local post office is looking for a reliable, customer-focused individual to join the Canada Post team as a Post Office Assistant (Term). This is an on-call position based in Saint-Flavien, QC, making it a great fit for someone who lives in the community and wants to stay connected to it through meaningful, service-oriented work.

Day-to-day, you’ll be the face of Canada Post at the counter — helping customers with postal products, sorting and processing mail, and resolving delivery concerns. If you enjoy working directly with people and thrive in a busy retail and service environment, this role could be a solid fit.

About the Role: Post Office Assistant

As a Post Office Assistant, you’ll handle a variety of counter and back-office tasks that keep the post office running smoothly. From selling postal products and services to sorting and distributing mail, your work directly supports the community you’re part of. You’ll also assist customers with forms, information, and any delivery or service concerns that come up during the day.

This role requires physical capability — you’ll be lifting mail containers up to 50 lb, pushing and pulling boxes, and standing for extended periods. Beyond the physical side, accuracy matters: cash handling and basic accounting are part of the job, so attention to detail is essential. The position is on-call and term-based, so flexibility in your availability is a key requirement.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a wage of $20.54 per hour. As part of Canada Post, you’ll be working for one of Canada’s most recognizable national institutions, with a team that values trust, respect, and delivering results. The company is also committed to employment equity and accessibility, and actively encourages applications from Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women.

Responsibilities

Working at the post office counter means no two days are exactly the same. You’ll be responsible for keeping service running smoothly — from helping customers with their postal needs to ensuring mail is sorted and distributed accurately. These tasks are essential to the community’s connection to Canada Post‘s national network.

Requirements / Skills
