Over 2,000 seasonal roles waiting to be filled in West Midlands could be 'stepping stone'
Job Centre advisors say more than 2,000 seasonal roles currently up for grabs in the West Midlands provide a "stepping stone" for job-seekers.
According to the Department for Work and Pensions job finder service, a total of 2,081 seasonal roles were being advertised in the West Midlands as retail firms look to ramp up their staffing ahead of the festive season.
Last month, John Lewis Partnership announced plans to hire an extra 12,500 workers for the Christmas period with Royal Mail also lining up 16,000 seasonal sorters and delivery agents.
