Amazon recruiting on Merseyside now with impressive overtime rates

Online retail giant Amazon is creating 7,000 new jobs in the UK over the coming months and positions have already become available close to home.

Considered one of the big four technology companies, along with Google, Apple, and Facebook, Amazon is one of the most successful companies in the world.

The new jobs will be created at Amazon's warehouses, sorting centres and delivery sites as well as in its offices.

Amazon has three warehouses in Merseyside and currently, they’re looking to recruit for temporary, part-time warehouse positions in Warrington.

However, rates for overtime significantly bump this up to between £14.25 and £19.00 per hour.

Full training is provided and benefits include free hot drinks, car parking on-site and transport available from some locations.
