The positions are available at various Amazon facilities, including fulfilment centres, sortation centres, and delivery stations, and will support the online giant’s busy run-up to Christmas, helping ensure deliveries and operations run smoothly. The roles offer competitive pay rates, starting at £14.30 per hour and rising to £15.30 per hour, depending on location. This pay increase reflects an 80p per hour rise over the past year, bringing Amazon's minimum starting wage to just under £30,000 annually. Amazon UK operations director Anil Verma highlighted the importance of seasonal workers to the company’s success, saying: “Seasonal colleagues are integral to our operations, and many choose to return year after year. “This shows that these temporary roles can often be a stepping stone to longer-term employment within the company, offering valuable experience in logistics, warehousing, and customer service.” How to apply for Amazon's seasonal roles Applications are open across the UK, and for those looking to join Amazon during the holiday season, the application process is straightforward.
