The new roles are already available online across the Boots website and other recruitment apps such as Indeed. Several of the roles will include training so experience working in customer service is not essential.
The recruitment team are looking for people with strong communication and listening skills, a passion for providing customer care, the ability to work as a team and strong attention to detail. As an extra bonus, temporary workers will have access to the Boots staff discount and other benefits.
Donna Hodgins, head of recruitment at Boots, said: “Our roles are perfect opportunities for anyone looking to explore career paths in the retail industry to gain valuable work experience that could potentially lead to a permanent position in future.”
