Australia Post is launching a nationwide recruitment drive to hire more than 3,500 seasonal team members as operations ramp up for what's expected to be another record-breaking Christmas period.
With demand already building in the lead-up to major cyber sales events and the holiday season, Australia Post is looking to fill roles across a range of positions. Forklift operators, van and truck drivers as well as parcel sorters are needed to help keep parcels moving across the delivery network and delivered quickly to customers. Roles are open for applications now with the highest demand in New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
Australia Post Executive General Manager, People and Culture, Sue Davies emphasised the vital role seasonal team members play in ensuring a successful holiday period and timely parcel deliveries for customers nationwide.
"Last year, we delivered almost 103 million parcels in the lead up to Christmas, thanks to the help of our seasonal team members. Our ability to deliver parcels to customers quickly and reliably depends on the hard work and commitment of every individual we bring on board. That's why we're looking for enthusiastic team members to ensure we can meet the surge in demand and continue providing the trusted service Australians expect from Australia Post.
"We're particularly interested in hearing from people with a valid forklift or truck licence, as well as those interested in roles across parcel processing and deliveries - many of which require no previous experience. These roles offer a good opportunity to earn money in the holiday period and the chance to be part of a supportive and inclusive team where every contribution makes a difference.
"Seasonal roles can also open the door to longer-term opportunities beyond the end of the year. Many of our team members began their journey with us during the Christmas period and have gone on to build lasting careers at Australia Post," said Ms Davies.
Those interested can apply by visiting auspost.com.au/seasonaljobs or the Australia Post careers website at jobs.auspost.com.au.
Australia Post is proud to have one of Australia's most diverse workforces made of 143 different nationalities and employs people of all backgrounds and abilities to reflect the communities it serves around the country.
