The festive period is an expensive time so one of the best perks of a seasonal job is that it allows you to earn some extra cash just when it matters the most! Many businesses will extend their range of benefits to their temp workers so if you’re working in a retail role you may get discount or early access to sales which can make your money go even further. Hospitality roles can also be a great earner with tips and sometimes discount on food. As a temporary worker you’ll also be entitled to sick pay and holiday allowance.

4. Enhanced career opportunities

A temporary contract gives you a foot in the door and may lead to something more permanent.
