The mobile phone giant Vodafone has said 375 jobs across is business will be lost this month.
However, the firm said that it would be taking on 170 new staff in retail and call centres, with the job losses primarily affecting back office position.
The jobs are likely to go at locations including Vodafone's headquarters in Newbury in Berkshire, and form part of a £1 billion cost-cutting programme undertaken by the group in the last year.
Matthew Brearley, human resources director at Vodafone UK, said: "We're committed to increasing the number of customer-facing employees which will help us simplify our business and continue to deliver outstanding communications services across the UK's best network."
An additional 50 graduates will start work at Vodafone this September after more than 3,000 applied to its university leaver programme.
