Australia Post launches mass recruitment drive to | Australian Markets

Australia Post has kicked off a mass recruitment drive for an further 3500 staff because it gears up for what it expects might be a record-breaking Christmas period.

From forklift drivers to parcel sorters, the supply giant wants to fill a vary of seasonal roles that might open the door to longer-term alternatives.

Cyber gross sales occasions and the quickly approaching vacation season imply demand is already building for parcel providers. Last 12 months, virtually 103 million parcels have been delivered within the lead-up to Christmas.

Roles are open for purposes now, with the very best demand for staff in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.

Sue Davies, Australia Post Executive General Manager, People and Culture, mentioned seasonal crew members have been important to guarantee well timed deliveries to prospects throughout the nation.

“Our ability to deliver parcels to customers quickly and reliably depends on the hard work and commitment of every individual we bring on board. That’s why we’re looking for enthusiastic team members to ensure we can meet the surge in demand and continue providing the trusted service Australians expect from Australia Post.

“People with a valid forklift or truck licence are in particular demand. No experience is required for many of the roles across parcel processing and deliveries.

“These roles offer a good opportunity to earn money in the holiday period and the chance to be part of a supportive and inclusive team where every contribution makes a difference,” Ms Davies mentioned.

“Seasonal roles can also open the door to longer-term opportunities beyond the end of the year. Many of our team members began their journey with us during the Christmas period and have gone on to build lasting careers at Australia Post.”
