Marks & Spencer has announced it will recruit 11,000 new colleagues to support store teams over the festive period.
The new colleagues will support store teams during the busiest weeks of the year, helping M&S deliver brilliant service and high standards for customers. The roles are fast-moving and hands-on, with colleagues working together to make sure customers get the very best of M&S at its busiest.
Applications are now open, with the first new colleagues joining M&S from 25 October. The roles will pay £13.41 per hour, with successful applicants receiving the training, tools and support needed to get up to speed quickly.
Christmas is one of the biggest moments of the year for M&S, with millions of customers trusting the retailer to help make it special, from the food on the dinner table to gifts and fashion. Seasonal colleagues play a vital part in helping store teams deliver for customers at this busy time.
Thinus Keeve, Retail Director at M&S, said: “Our brilliant store colleagues play such an important part in delivering the magic of M&S at Christmas, and we’re looking forward to welcoming 11,000 new colleagues to teams this year.
“Christmas is busy, fast-moving and a really exciting time to join M&S. We’ll give new colleagues the training, tools and support they need to get up to speed quickly. What matters most is bringing energy, curiosity and a real commitment to doing the right thing for our customers and working as part of the team.”
