Royal Mail to take on 20,000 new workers over busy festive period
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Royal Mail has announced plans to recruit approximately 20,000 temporary workers to bolster its delivery operations during the busy Christmas period. The postal service confirmed that the new positions will be spread across two parcel hubs, four seasonal parcel sorting centres, and 37 mail centres throughout the country. This significant hiring drive is intended to help the company manage the expected surge in demand around key shopping events, including Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the festive season."
"Specifically, 12,000 mail centre sorting roles will be available in England, with an additional 2,000 in Scotland, 600 in Wales, and 400 in Northern Ireland. Furthermore, Royal Mail will be recruiting for 3,000 delivery and collection roles across the UK, alongside 2,000 temporary HGV and MGV driver positions. Royal Mail will set up four extra seasonal sorting centres in Atherstone, Milton Keynes, Northampton and Daventry to help it fulfil deliveries."
