"New research from The Accountancy Partnership has revealed that there was a 23% increase in Google searches for the term 'Christmas temp jobs' this September compared to September 2024. Typically, searches for this rise over October and November, showing that Brits are looking to secure festive income earlier than ever. The study also shows a dramatic long-term rise in job-seeking behaviour around the festive period."
"2024 and 2025 have been challenging for workers in sectors like retail, logistics, and hospitality, where redundancies and reduced hours have hit hard. We're also seeing self-employed people and freelancers exploring temp roles as a way to balance income during slower trading periods. Seasonal work once offered a top-up for festive gifts, but now for many it's a vital buffer to help cover essential bills."
