It's certainly a good time to be looking if you want to earn some extra cash, especially around Christmas time. Students looking for work after starting univesity could find it useful too, so do pass on the link, if you thing someone could find it useful.
I've added the list of job pages below, for loads of different places, which are all worth checking back on, even if there's nothing there that suits you right now. As well as this, you could even HEAD HERE to see other Christmas jobs, including some for Father Christmas and his elves
Update - 16th October 2023
The retailers below have now announced just how many job roles are up for grabs! In some cases there are way over ten thousand If any of the below grab your interest, it might be worth applying ASAP!
Good luck!
- M&S - kicks off Christmas recruitment drive with 10,000 roles available
- Sainsbury’s - ‘Tis the time for seasonal recruitment: 22,000 jobs now available
- Tesco - jobs: 30,000 temporary Christmas vacancies available
- Morrisons - is searching for 3,600 Christmas staff
- Iceland - is recruiting for over 1,500 part-time Retail Assistant and Home Delivery Driver positions.
- Smyths - Toys is taking on 1,000 sales assistants at stores across the country.
- The Entertainer - needs 800 Seasonal Sales Assistants
- Royal Mail - is looking for 16,000 temporary staff
A little bit of news:
Sadly there have been multiple cases of retailers shutting up shop, leaving employees stranded for work.
At this point, I think everyone has heard that Wilko are axing thousands of jobs, after entering administration last month. The amount of people facing the unknown right now is staggering, but there is a saving grace that could help ex-Wilko employees.
Tesco have been urging those affected to apply for one of 3,500 job vacancies across the UK.
\"We currently have 3,500 vacancies in Tesco stores across the UK and we are encouraging Wilko staff to take a look at the roles available in their area and get in touch with our team or apply online.”
If you want to do that, then you can check out Tesco HERE
Tesco aren't the only retailer to be making this gesture! Aldi, Dunelm, The Works, Home Bargains and Hobbycraft are offering guaranteed interviews too!
We wish you all the best of luck with you applications! You're awesome
