Mike Hancox, CEO of Yodel, said: “We expect the ongoing growth in online retail will continue in the winter months as consumers look to finalise their Black Friday and Christmas shopping for friends, family and loved ones as conveniently as possible.
“There’s a huge breadth of roles available, with many presenting an opportunity to grow into long-term careers. By joining Yodel you’ll become part of a nationwide family and have options to work either full or part-time to suit your lifestyle.”
The announcement comes as Yodel records its busiest and most successful year to date.
Yodel handled 190m parcels last year, a 30% increase in volume in 2020 compared to 2019 as the pandemic hit high streets.
The depots in Wales with available roles are Llanelli, Nantgarw, Llandudno and Wrexham.
There are 190 self employed courier and service partner opportunities available, around 20 employed driver roles available and around 20 warehouse and sorter/loader roles.
