Seasonal Mail Sorters Edinburgh, Scotland
Job description

Whether it’s the Christmas card from a loved one or the gift they’ve always wanted, we deliver more to our customers – and you can too as a Seasonal Mail Sorter, all while earning some extra cash to fill your Christmas stocking.
This role is based at Edinburgh MC, 11 Cutlins Road, Edinburgh, EH11 4YY
