Notes for messengers 1. COLLECTION. 5.00pm from Unit 5, Standingford House, 26 Cave Street (off St Clements), on Monday, Wednesday & Friday in Oxford University term and once a week (Thursdays) in the vacation. 2. DELIVERY. Straight away, please, taking between 1 and 2 hours, depending on the route. It may take 2-3 hours for a few days until you know your route. We pay by the hour. A route list (and, if necessary, a map) is provided. Your route list will be updated from time to time. There will be between 40 and 70 copies of the sheet to deliver on each route, to between 25 and 50 different places (we call each place a "drop"). 2:1 At each drop, you will need to pin the sheet
to a noticeboard, hand it to a staff member, leave it on a desk or post
it through a letterbox - all reasonably tidily. Please use common sense
- don't leave sheets in places where they won't be spotted by the people
who put them on display, or where they'll get rained on or walked on.
There are more specific delivery instructions on your route list. 3. PAY. Weekly, in cash. In term time on Friday for the Monday, Wednesday and Friday of that week, in the vac., on Thursdays for that Thursday. £7/hour plus £1 per additional poster. There will be one or two copies of our sheet (usually one) per drop. Posters are occasional and will number 1-3 per drop (usually just the one). 4. CONTACT. You will need your own phone number (ideally mobile) and an email address as well as your own bike. We won't usually need to get in touch with you urgently, but there might be rare occasions when we do. 5. ABSENCES. We do not normally expect any. We need you to be reliable and - ideally - around pretty much constantly, or when not (due to holidays, exams, etc.), to give us lots of advance notice. 6. FINALLY, thanks for doing quite a tiring but
extremely valuable job. If and when you run into problems, do call us
or come to see us without delay. |
