The Metrocentre in Gateshead is currently on a hiring spree with an increased number of vacancies ahead of the festive period.

From gift-buyers to family and friends enjoying a festive day out, the centre becomes a hub of the North East before Christmastime.
It will come as good news for those in or wanting to join the retail world that the Metrocentre is now offering a wealth of opportunities.
It's been a testing 18 months for the retail industry with shop doors often closed in lockdowns and, despite 2,550 Tyne and Wear retail workers still collecting furlough pay in July, prospects are looking up.
