Marks & Spencer is recruiting more than 1,000 seasonal staff across Scotland to support stores during the busy Christmas trading period. Applications are now open, with the first new hires expected to start from 25 October. The roles pay £13.41 per hour and include full training and support.

Glasgow and Renfrewshire is a key recruitment area, with 436 positions available across the region, including 70 jobs at M&S Braehead.

In Inverness, Erin Moir initially joined on a Christmas contract before moving into maternity cover as a team manager and now works in the visual merchandising team.
