uktemps - temporary and part time jobs

Thinking about heading off into the hills for a ski season but fancy a job whilst out there? Obviously there are a huge range of ski season job opportunities including bar work, kitchen work, chalet work, ski guiding and much more. Something that cropped up on our radar was for Crystal, one of the better known names in skiing, they currently have over 1,000 vacancies to fill for this season and don’t think you’ve left it too late as they are always looking for more staff.

They are currently looking to fill vacancies in repping, chalet and hotel hosts, chefs and childcare staff, who must have NNEB, BTEC, NVQ in childcare or the equivalent.

The recent constant talk about the credit crunch has installed as aspect of fear into the recruitment market but it seems that this is a premature as over 86% of firms surveyed announced that they were expecting to continue to hire this Autumn and winter.
Previous experience has led to companies typically holding back from recruitment rather than making redundancies in tough times and while 5% seem to think some redundancies are inevitable, this figure is down on 2006.

It would look like the recruitment market is currently riding this wave and that the usual requirements for temporary employees will be as high as ever in the last quarter of 2007 and into 2008.

Christmas is seen as the time of excess and people have already started to organise their Christmas shopping but will the once bouyant retail industry have the same numbers of opportunities for seasonal temp workers as it has in previous years?
The chances are that there will be some but the high street and shopping centre is losing the battle that is has been waging with the websites and I think we are more likely to see an increase in warehouse and call centre work as more and more people use the click of the mouse to purchase their christmas wish lists!!
Let us know our views….?

Perhaps a little melodramatic but now that the clocks have gone back and suddenly it’s dark when most of your employees leave work. Employers are being urged to think about giving opportunities to help their staff escape the misery of the dark (often damp) journey home. The National Commute Smart Week run by Work Wise UK, wants companies to offer flexible hours and homeworking to staff (I know I’d jump at the chance!!). The other side effect is that traffic congestion and public transport services will benefit from reduced usuage during the daily commute.

If there is one area where this can be improved its in the part time job sector.
