Argos seeks 9,000 seasonal workers this Christmas
Argos is planning to recruit over 9,000 seasonal workers in the run-up to the busy Christmas trading period.
The multichannel retailer said around 8,000 customer helpers are being sought to work in over 800 Argos stores while 1,000 drivers are required to deliver customer orders.
Initial contracts will be for around three months, with the potential for some roles to become permanent at the end of the season if vacancies exist. The retailer said recruits will be offered a minimum of 12 hours work per week.
Roles will be offered at stores across the UK, including more than 100 digital Argos stores.
Steve Carson, director of retail and customer operations at Argos said: “To make sure we offer customers the best possible service, we need extra support in our stores and we’re looking for people who are customer focused, energetic and enthusiastic. As we gear up to make getting hold of Christmas gifts as easy as possible, for the first time we are also seeking drivers to join our store teams and support local deliveries to customers.”
For the fourth consecutive year, Argos will be continuing its partnership with TUI UK, parent company of Thomson and First Choice, which enables summer seasonal workers with the travel company to apply for roles in their local Argos store for the winter season.
