Christmas is the busiest time of year for Royal Mail and there are lots of temporary and permanent vacancies available on the postal service. Millions of Christmas cards, gifts and parcels will be sent this year – and you could make that happen.
To aid that massive operation, Royal Mail hires seasonal temps every year to process the higher volume of mail. A temporary role could provide welcome additional income as the cost of living continues to play on the minds of many.
