New temporary sorting offices are being set up, including Daventry, Northampton and Milton Keynes.
Royal Mail says it is "pulling out all the stops" to deliver Christmas mail on timeThousands of short-term jobs are being created to help Royal Mail deal with a surge in demand over the Christmas period.
Royal Mail said the roles would be offered with "competitive pay rates and the opportunity for longer-term work".The contracts for the new roles will run from the end of October to early January, to cover Black Friday and Cyber Monday in November - as well as the Christmas period, Royal Mail said. The additional staff will help the company deal with the increasing number of online shopping parcels the company expects to handle during the Christmas holiday, when the number of letters and parcels being processed doubles.A total of 176,500 sq m of extra temporary space will be created across five seasonal parcel sorting centres in Daventry, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Atherstone in Warwickshire and Greenford in London, the company said.
