Who's hiring?!

I've seen a lot in the news about people being laid off, self employed having business dry up overnight. So....who's hiring, even temporarily, which will help some get through this difficult period:
Supermarkets
Farmers for seasonal fruit and veg pickers (shortage owing to travel ban)
I imagine tech companies, but haven't seen this anywhere, my guess.

Go!

Supermarkets, the NHS, food suppliers (factories, delivery drivers, packers etc) and care companies. Our care company is really struggling because so many of their staff are sick or self-isolating due to underlying conditions. They're having to cancel some of the less important care like cleaning calls and welfare checks Sad.

Tech is a fast growing sector and is still pretty much business as normal so if you're unemployed and self-isolating now would be a great time to retrain and look at taking some online courses vis the OU or similar. Cybersecurity, tech support roles and devops are all rapidly growing sectors.

Following. Looking for something where you could be isolated from as many people as possible.
