Christmas JobsEarn more this Xmas with Christmas Jobs. Free information and where to find Christmas employment: Most people appreciate a few extra pound to spend at Christmas and this page will discuss the various Christmas jobs and work available through the festive season. Christmas Shop WorkSome high street shops and stores will make about 80% of their annual turnover at Christmas time. To cope with the demand of more shoppers in their store or shop expecting to see full shelves and buying more than they normally would the shops require seasonal Christmas staff. Christmas jobs and positions start to become available as early as September and peaks around November and throughout December. People fulfilling Christmas jobs still get around the same pay as a regular member of staff and a contract of employment, though terms of employment may differ. For example being a seasonal staff member probably will not entitle you to sick pay, a pension scheme or holiday pay. It does give you the opportunity to prove how valuable you could be to a shop or organisation and could be offered a full time or regular part time job. For this reason you should approach Christmas jobs as you would any other work. Prepare for the interview by finding out about the organisation and the local company. Dress smartly and talk clearly and loud enough. Be polite and respectful. Try approaching larger stores like Argos, Boots, Woolworths and Mark and Spencers who usually have Christmas vacancies. Sell From Christmas Catalogues and BrochuresMany people like to shop from catalogues during Christmas and companies like Kleeneze will pay you to deliver the brochures and catalogues from door to door and you get a commission ranging from 10 - 21% and additional bonuses. We do this part time and it is a good source of income. There is an additional start up cost of £75 which pays for your shoulder bag, training manual, the catalogues etc. Read the Kleeneze page for more information including details of our hours of work and payments received. If you join via us at the join Kleeneze page we will give you e-mail and telephone support to help you maximise your earnings. The advantage of working for Kleeneze is it isn’t just a Christmas job, but is one that can bring you an income all the year round. Restaurant JobsRestaurants see a peak in visitors in December as people relax after a busy day shopping or take a lunch time treat during their Christmas shopping trip. Companies and organisations hold office parties for their employees. Restauranters will employ casual waiting staff during December and into the New Year to cope with the increase in visitors. This gives you another Christmas job opportunity. If you impress the owner or the manager of the restaurant you may be offered a full time or part time job when one becomes available. At the very least you may be asked to come back the following Christmas or to work during staff holidays or periods of illness. Another advantage of this type of Christmas job is the tips you get from happy customers, so do make their meal as enjoyable as possible - a happy customer tips more and gives you valuable extra Christmas money. Father Christmas WorkChristmas would not be Christmas without Santa and his little elf helpers. If you love children and have a twinkle in your eye then this could be a fun job. Someone will pay you to chat to children, dress up as Father Christmas or his elves and have a great time. Garden centres, shopping malls and larger shops will often have vacancies for someone to give out presents to children and have a talk with them or to pose for photographs with the children by the grotto. These Christmas jobs are usually advertised in the local job and employment centres, the vacancies board in the larger shops or in local newspapers. You don't have to have a white beard and big belly to get employed - you'll get a false set of whiskers and a costume!

Getting Paid For Christmas WorkMost Christmas jobs will pay you one month or on rare occassions one week after completing the work. This means you may not get the income until after the New Year because of the bank holidays. It does mean though that if you have worked in the run up to Christmas for the months September through to November you will have money to spend before Christmas which is handy for buying the presents. If you are paid the other side of Christmas you only need budget accordingly. The income earnt from your Christmas jobs, and any tips, should be declared on your income tax self assessment form in the paid employment section. Your employer should have paid income tax and national insurance contributions and provide you with a P60 form at the end of the tax year, which is after the 6 April. Though you will not need to pay any further tax the income should be declared on your self assessment form so that the tax office can calculate the tax you need to pay on your total annual income from other work, like those jobs listed on the left and right of this website. You may even be due a tax rebate from over paid income tax paid on your Christmas jobs. Christmas Postman VacanciesThe modern PC term is postal worker to encompass postmen and postwomen and there are usually job opportunities as a post or parcel sorter in the sorting office or out and about delivering the mail, letters and parcels. Apply at your local postal sorting office for an application form. Adverts do appear in the local paper or job centre round about September and October. Rates of pay vary around the UK and may be higher for busier areas like London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Manchester, etc. Do expect to be paid above £7 an hour. You will need to be fit and active for this type of seasonal work. There will be standing, lifting and walking involved, but if you are looking for extra money and want to loose weight before Christmas then this is just the job for you. You will need to provide references, be of sound character and preferably have a full and clean driving licence, though you may not need to drive if you have a local route where you can push one of the Royal Mail trolleys or ride a bicycle. An advantage of working for the Royal Mail at Christmas is that it can give you a taster of what this type of work can be like and could lead to a permanent job. Regular posties have perks such as a pension plan, paid holidays and extra days off on bank holidays. Find more information at the Royal Mail website at www.royalmail.com where you can search through postal job vacancies by location and shift. Follow the link through and enter your postcode and the number of miles you are prepared to travel. Optional search requests include Christmas casual, counter staff and postperson delivery or indoor sorting on a Christmas casual temporary engagement contract. Do apply early for a postman or postwoman job at Christmas because they sometimes close the positions early because they get such a high volume of applicants. Some of the major cities will hold recruitment days. In October 2009 it was announced by various media sources that the Royal Mail were advertising between 15000 and 30000 Christmas jobs to help cover the backlog caused by industrial action and strikes by the Communications Workers Union (CWU). Whilst this may seem good news to those seeking Christmas jobs it is felt by many that it could be a double edged sword because companies looking to new couriers and postal delivery services during a strike may prefer to continue to use a different courier or postal service such as TNT and DHL. It is thought that some online shops and stores such as Amazon, Argos and John Lewis may already have changed to a courier service to prevent delays this Christmas.
