Postal Service To Fill Local Jobs
Lee, Collier & Charlotte Counties – The U.S. Postal Service is looking to fill positions. These positions are temporary but could lead to permanent employment.
The position of City Carrier Assistant is a new category of non-career employees. City Carrier Assistants are used to carry mail for routes where the regular carrier is not available.
City Carrier Assistants perform the same duties as regular letter carriers with a few differences.

Salary and benefits include $15 an hour and paid vacation days and eligibility for health care benefits as required by law, or after the first 360-day term.
For years, the U.S. Postal Service has used transitional employees to fill carrier needs. Some transitional employees have been with the postal service for years.
Applicants must be 18 years or older. Applicants must have a valid state driver’s
license, a safe driving record, and at least two years of documented driving experience. Qualified applicants must successfully pass a pre-employment drug screening to meet the U.S. Postal Service’s requirement to be drug free.

They’re overwhelmingly white, ranging from 72 to 88 percent, the numbers show. They’re overwhelmingly male, ranging from 80 to 90 percent. The Southwest Florida populations they serve also are largely white, but in two cases — Fort Myers police and Collier County sheriff — the number of white officers is 18 percent higher than the population served.
