Amazon is to open a new centre in Manchester later this year that will create 1,000 jobs, the company has announced.
The centre will open in the autumn and the permanent positions will be created over a period of three years.
The roles will include human resources staff, a computing team, and engineers.
Amazon plans to create 2,500 jobs in the UK this year, bringing its total workforce to 14,500.
The company has plans to open a centre in Coalville, Leicestershire, which would bring the number of UK sites to 12.
Amazon's vice president of UK operations, John Tagawa, said the roles would have "competitive wages and comprehensive benefits starting on day one".
All permanent staff will be paid a minimum of £7.20 an hour or more, increasing to £8 within two years.
They will also receive stock grants which have recently averaged out at £1,000 a year per person.
Staff members also get private medical insurance, employee discounts, and a company pension.
Wythenshawe and Sale East MP Mike Kane said it was "fantastic news for residents" of his constituency.
