Post Office Assistant – Canada Post – Sicamous, BC

Canada Post is looking for a motivated and customer-focused Post Office Assistant to join their team in Sicamous, British Columbia. This is an on-call, term position with two vacancies available — a solid fit for someone who thrives in a retail service environment and wants to be part of a nationally trusted organization that keeps communities connected.

Day to day, you’ll be working directly with the public at the post office counter — selling postal products, processing mail, and helping customers navigate delivery or service concerns. The role is hands-on and varied, requiring both people skills and physical readiness.

About the Role: Post Office Assistant

As a Post Office Assistant, you’ll be at the front line of Canada Post’s retail operations in Sicamous. Your responsibilities will span counter sales, mail sorting and distribution, customer information services, and resolving delivery issues. This isn’t a behind-the-scenes role — you’ll be the face of Canada Post for residents and businesses in the community, so a genuine willingness to help people goes a long way.

Because this is an on-call position, flexibility is essential. You’ll need to be available as needed and ready to step in when the team requires coverage. Canada Post also notes a preference for candidates who already reside in the Sicamous area, though applicants from outside the community may be considered depending on needs. The organization upholds strong values around trust, respect, and delivering for others — and expects the same from everyone on the team.

Benefits and Salary

This position offers a wage of $20.54 per hour. Canada Post is committed to an equitable and inclusive workplace, and encourages applications from Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women. Accommodation is available throughout the hiring process for anyone who requires it.

Responsibilities

Working at a Canada Post retail counter means no two days are exactly the same. You’ll be juggling customer transactions, mail handling, and problem-solving — all with a calm and helpful attitude. Here’s what the role involves on a regular basis:

• Sell postal products and services to members of the public and business customers
• Sort, distribute, and process incoming mail into appropriate classifications
• Provide customers with information, guidance, and the forms they need
• Resolve delivery and service difficulties thoroughly and in a timely manner

Requirements / Skills

Canada Post is looking for someone who brings a customer-first attitude and a solid work ethic to the role. The right candidate is comfortable on their feet, adaptable to an on-call schedule, and has some background in retail or public-facing service. Physical readiness is also part of the job, given the nature of mail handling.

• Education: High school diploma or provincial equivalency, and/or experience in business administration
• Retail/service experience: Prior experience interacting with the public in a retail or service environment, including sales and cash transactions
• Accounting knowledge: Understanding of general or post office accounting systems is an asset
• Physical fitness: Ability to lift mail containers up to 50 lb, push or pull boxes, sort mail, and stand for extended periods
• Flexibility: Availability for temporary, on-call work as required
• Community connection: Candidates residing in Sicamous are preferred
