Direct Temporary Employees
Penguin UK employs a pool of direct temporary
employees. In practice, this means that staff are employed
directly by Penguin and paid through the payroll, but work
as and when required on long or short term contracts of employment.
Direct temporary employees (with eligible service) are entitled
to holiday and sickness pay.
Working in editorial, marketing, publicity
or sales departments (to name a few) at our Strand office,
our pool of direct temporary employees provide administrative
and secretarial cover during holidays, sickness, maternity
leave. This is often an excellent way to gain publishing experience
and make those all-important contacts.
If you would like to be considered as
a Direct Temporary employee, please send your CV to one of the following:
