Poundland has announced a recruitment drive in the run-up to Christmas and confirmed it will close on Boxing Day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The discount retailer, which has stores in Mold and Flint, says it plans to take on around 1,200 seasonal colleagues to work in stores during the festive period. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The temporary shop floor roles will end on Christmas Eve, though some colleagues may be taken on permanently where roles are available. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Poundland has also joined the growing list of retailers to remain closed on Boxing Day in thanks to its thousands of staff. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The retailer will also remain closed on New Years Day. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

As a thank-you to all 18,000 members of the Poundland and Dealz team for all their hard work, they will each receive a £25 voucher to spend in store between December and January. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“We really appreciate how hard colleagues work during the year and are closing the stores on the extra days over Christmas and New Year so they enjoy a well-deserved break with friends and family,” said Simon Wells, Poundland & Dealz’ people director. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

“The vouchers and extra discounts are our way of saying thank-you and we know they’ll be appreciated.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
