RETAILER M&S is recruiting 300 Christmas staff in Northern Ireland in a variety of roles across its 21 stores in the clothing, home and food departments, with applications now open at www.careers.marksandspencer.com/
Across the UK, it is seeking 20,000 “moment makers” for the festive season.
Simon Layton, M&S head of region for Northern Ireland said: “Customers come to us at Christmas for trusted quality and extra special service – whether they’re collecting the turkey they ordered online, purchasing Christmas Eve PJs for the kids or buying a new dress for the office party.
“We want to offer these customers the very best experience – which is why we’re recruiting 300 new team members. Every year we value the additional colleagues we recruit and it’s great a number stay with us.
“For those interested in applying, retail experience is helpful, but what we’re really after are colleagues who are ready to be part of a hard-working team and help make every moment special for our customers.”
While temporary roles appeal to many - including working parents, students and those just looking for a little extra spending money at Christmas - every year a number of M&S seasonal workers remain with the company.
Last year 32 temps were offered a permanent role with M&S Northern Ireland in January, and many have progressed over the years to management positions.
