Is your life a beach at the moment?
For those who haven’t been away yet, wishing away every hour until your holiday starts can almost seem like a job in itself. But if you’re too busy desperately seeking sun to concentrate on your day-to-day, maybe it isn’t just your tan that needs to change.
To help you find a job you don’t want to escape from, here are some of the top companies hiring this July on reed.co.uk:
MI6
Fancy yourself as the next Bond? You’re in luck…
The Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, are hiring now. They have over 100 years’ worth of experience as the UK’s foreign intelligence service, actively involved in protecting the UK’s interests overseas since 1909.
Despite having such a rich heritage, due to the extremely secretive nature of their work, their existence was not officially acknowledged until the mid-1990s. Luckily, their recruitment isn’t so much of a secret.
They currently have vacancies for Facilities Operatives and Business Support Officers, in a number of different locations across the country.
For your eyes only… (Also, anyone else’s).
Locations: Throughout the UK.
Norwich City
People of Norwich: Delia wants YOU.
That’s right, arguably the best-known East Anglian export since Partridge (what do you think of the pedestrianisation of Norwich city centre?), Delia Smith is a majority shareholder in her local football team. The club, affectionately known as the Canaries, are looking to new talent to help their imminent return to the Premier League.
Unfortunately, we can’t promise you a place on the pitch, but there are an abundance of Front of House staff and catering roles on offer. Oh, did we mention that there’s a 15% discount for all staff in the club shop? Sorry Ipswich Town fans…
So, think you’ve got what it takes to work for Norwich? Let’s be having you.
Locations: Throughout the UK… (OK, mostly Norwich).

They’re looking for Dog Groomers, Customer Service Advisors and a whole host of sales roles in locations throughout the country. The right candidate will be loyal, obedient, and open to occasional belly-rubs*.

Sunglass Hut
Designer sunglasses: bringing style to overcast English days since 1971.
OK, so that’s not strictly true. But that is when the very first Sunglass Hut store opened. Now part of the Luxottica Group, the world’s largest eyewear company, the store is the industry leader for designer frames in all shapes and sizes. So whether you’re mad about Miu Miu, all about Oakley’s or you can’t live without your Wayfarers, consider this place your spiritual home.
They’re currently on the lookout for Area Managers, Store Managers, Merchandisers and more with an eye for fashion, to work in one of their 80 outlets across the UK. There’s even a generous discount for friends and family. And let’s face it, ski goggles are so last season.
Jobs with Sunglass Hut. Because sometimes, optimism is all you have…
