EasyJet to recruit over 1,200 cabin crew

More than 1,200 new cabin crew are to be recruited by easyJet, with half to be based in the UK.

The budget airline is looking to take on staff for permanent and fixed-term cabin crew positions.

The positions will be offered across the carrier’s 27 European bases where more than 5,500 cabin crew are employed.

The latest recruitment drive follows the airline announcing plans earlier in the year to add more than 350 pilots as it sought to promote more than 150 of its current first officers into captains.

New recruits will complete a series of online pre-coursework tasks, and then undertake three weeks of practical demonstrations in areas such as safety procedures, aviation security and first aid.

EasyJet’s onboard team includes three flight attendants and a cabin manager, who work closely with the captain and first officer.

Head of cabin service Tina Milton said: “We’re delighted to be opening recruitment for more than 1,200 cabin crew positions today.

“Being cabin crew is a very rewarding role – our teams are extremely professional and energetic with a real sense of fun.

“EasyJet is a fantastic company to work for with everyone across the airline working together as one team to ensure we provide the highest standard of service for our passengers.

“We’re looking forward to welcoming more people into our growing team.”
