What is a Christmas casual job?
A Christmas casual job is short-term work to help an employer through the busy festive season, usually from November to January. Casual means you're offered shifts as they come up, with no guaranteed hours each week. Some Christmas roles are fixed term instead, with set hours until a specific end date. Check the listing so you know which one you're applying for.
When do Christmas casual jobs start hiring?
Many retailers start advertising Christmas roles in September and October, and most hiring is done by early December. Searches for Christmas jobs on ZEIL start climbing in August, so the earlier you apply, the more choice you'll have. If you're reading this after Christmas, set a job alert now so you hear about next season's roles as soon as they're posted.
What kinds of Christmas casual jobs are there?
Most Christmas casual roles are in retail, especially fashion and gift stores in shopping centres. But it's not just retail. Health and support providers hire casual support workers to cover staff leave, and aged care, hospitality, warehousing and food production also take on extra staff. If retail isn't for you, search by your field and look for roles that mention Christmas or summer cover.
Can students get Christmas casual jobs?
Yes. Christmas casual work suits students well, as most university exams finish in November, just as hiring peaks. Employers usually want availability on weekends, late nights and the days around Christmas, so be upfront about when you can work. Students tell us the biggest frustration is roles that don't state the hours, so ask about the roster before you accept.
Are Christmas casual jobs part time?
Most are casual rather than part time. Part-time work has regular agreed hours, while casual work gives you shifts as needed, which can mean a lot of hours one week and very few the next. Some employers advertise Christmas part-time or fixed-term roles with set hours. If you need steady income, look for those, and check our public holiday pay guide for how holiday pay works for casual staff.
