Jobcentre Plus has unveiled its top 12 jobs for Christmas, with Father Christmas topping the bill and Mother Christmas following close behind – although this has yet to lead to claims of gender discrimination.
Thousands of seasonal jobs are available at Jobcentres and the Government hopes to promote short-term or festive roles as a way of getting the unemployed back into full-time work.
