Royal Mail has launched a drive to recruit around 220 temporary workers in Exeter to help sort its Christmas mailbag.
Temporary positions across a variety of shifts will be available between mid-November and early January 2015. The peak of the additional temporary work will be in December.
Parcelforce Worldwide is also looking for drivers and indoor workers as the whole organisation gears up to delivery at Christmas, the busiest time of the year for everyone working in the postal service.
The recruits will help to sort Christmas cards and parcels before they go to around delivery offices for postmen and women to take out on their rounds. Royal Mail Group's express parcels business, Parcelforce Worldwide, is also recruiting extra people throughout the UK.
Royal Mail has set up a dedicated website for people to apply for the positions – www.royalmailgroup.com/xmasjobs.
