Yodel recruiting 4,000 new employees for festive period

Yodel is looking to recruit 4,000 new employees for the festive period, including employed and self-employed couriers, day and night parcel sorters, and team managers. 

 A variety of roles are available at Yodel’s 50 locations nationwide, with the dramatic growth in e-commerce, feeding sustained demand for parcel delivery services.

Yodel expects to handle more than 200 million parcels this year.

This latest recruitment drive follows a series of infrastructure investments and will support the business as it scales up operations for peak demand.

Positions are available across Yodel’s network, with roles available at key sites including Bristol, Kilmarnock, Livingston, Newton Abbott, and Llanelli.

Mike Hancox, CEO of Yodel, said: “Christmas is always our busiest time of the year, but with 2022 bringing additional World Cup related shopping, we’re anticipating a festive season like never before.

“There are a variety of roles available, with many presenting an opportunity to grow into long-term careers.

“By joining Yodel, you will become part of a nationwide family and have options to work either full or part-time to suit your lifestyle.” 

The announcement comes as Yodel records its first year of profits after a year of significant growth.
