06 Oct 2010

9,000 Christmas Jobs At Debenhams If you are looking for Christmas jobs for the holidays then you will be happy to learn that Debenhams, the popular high street retailer, will have 9,000 festive holiday jobs on offer this year. That’s actually 1,000 more jobs available for the busy Christmas period than they had on offer last year.

The end of December is traditionally one of the busiest weeks of the year for most retailers and Debenhams are expecting that this year will be no different. What is different this year though is that Debenhams will have more part time jobs available so that more staff are available when customers need them most.

Debenhams currently employ over 23,000 staff in permanent roles across their 160 UK stores. The recruitment drive for the 9,000 part time jobs at Christmas will see an average of over 50 new employees at those Debenhams outlets. And, as the stores are located all over the UK, it is great news for anyone looking for part time jobs at Christmas in their local area.

Some of the part time Christmas jobs will actually be filled in November and run through into January. A range of vacancies, such as gift advisers and sales assistants, will be on offer at various departments of Debenhams.

Michael Sharp, deputy chief executive at Debenhams said that this year they had trained a designated store manager at every branch to handle the recruitment of the 9,000 part time Christmas jobs. Sharp added that local economies would be boosted by these holiday jobs in what is often a tough time of the year fiscally for some people.

Employment minister Chris Grayling also welcomed the news of the new Debenhams’ Christmas jobs, saying, “These new vacancies are a great boost for job seekers.”

Most big retailers go on recruitment drives for part time and seasonal staff at around this time of year to prepare for the Christmas and New Year period.
