Temp staff booking platform Redwigwam creates 250 jobs in roles from digital marketing to pastry making

A Liverpool-based temporary staff booking platform is to create 250 jobs for young people across the UK as part of the Government's Kickstart scheme.

Redwigwam said the entry-level jobs will provide successful candidates with the chance to gain work experience during a six-month placement.

People aged 16-24 and on Universal Credit can apply for the paid roles in the £2bn programme which guarantees workers 25 hours per week.

Some of the roles require candidates to go into the workplace, while other roles are fully remote and will be working from home.

The job opportunities, available across the country, include brand ambassadors, administrators, customer service, digital marketing executives, graphic designers, receptionists, social media executives and field sales executives.

There are also job roles for e-commerce product assistants, JavaScript developers, nutritionists, supply chain assistants and even a pastry chef.

Lorna Davidson, founder and CEO of Liverpool-based redwigwam, said: “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with the Government to create 6-month-long job placements for people aged 16-24 on Universal Credit.

“These entry-level roles are specially designed for those who are struggling to find employment and want the chance to learn from scratch. It will give hundreds of young people the chance to learn new skills which they can take forward as they start their career.

“All are welcome to apply, no matter what their level of education or work experience, and they will all get paid for the duration of their placement.”

Redwigwam is a temporary work booking platform serving both workers and hirers across the UK. There are more than 150,000 workers and 4,000 businesses registered and growing daily.

Its AI staffing platform matches workers to jobs in their local area that require the skills they have, and workers can book whichever jobs they wish.

The company works with some of the biggest blue-chip companies in the UK, including Coca-Cola, Argos, American Express, Sodexo, Land Rover, Tesco and Kellogg's.
