Marks & Spencer has revealed that it will be recruiting over 11,000 new Customer Assistants to work in its foods and clothing & home stores during the festive period.
Amid its current spell of strong performance, the retailer has over 1,000 more vacancies available this year as it seeks to “deliver exceptional customer service”.
The recruitment window opens on 9th October, with new staff joining the retailer from mid-November.
Sacha Berendji, Operations Director at M&S, said: “Our fantastic store colleagues play such a big part in delivering the magic of M&S at Christmas to our customers. And this year we’re recruiting even more colleagues to ensure we’re closer to customers.
“The Christmas period is a busy but exciting time for M&S and no two days are the same – in fact, many colleagues started their M&S careers at Christmas and after the festive period were invited to go onto our Stepping Into Team Manager programme. With a range of roles and flexible working patterns available, anyone who is interested in being part of something special this Christmas should visit our careers website to apply.”
