Gap Year Job News

As usual, the Royal Mail is anticipating a huge surge in seasonal mail and so will be looking to fill around 15,000 Christmas jobs in 2010. Each year the postal service employs thousands of extra people in temporary jobs and they don’t expect Christmas 2010 to be any exception.

In a normal week the Royal Mail sifts through approximately 70 million letters, packages and parcels but that figure doubles to around 130 million in the run up to Christmas. That is why the Royal Mail needs to take on so many extra staff every December.

Last year, the Royal Mail announced they would recruit 17,500 staff for temporary work leading up to Christmas and later said they could need as many as 30,000 extra staff due to threatened strike action.

The 15,000 temporary vacancies on offer from Royal Mail for Christmas 2010 will be at locations all across the country and a range of shifts will be on offer. Typically, the Christmas jobs with Royal Mail last for two to three weeks and the majority are for indoor mail sorters.

We know it is only October but now really is the time to start hunting for Christmas jobs with the likes of the Royal Mail and some of the big retailers. We’ve already brought you details of over 30,000 Christmas jobs in 2010 from companies like Sainsbury’s, Debenhams and Argos and we’ll keep you posted with any more that we find over the next few weeks.
