Travelodge to recruit 1000 staff before Christmas

Travelodge is looking to take on 1,000 permanent staff in the run-in to Christmas.

The recruitment drive comes as the budget chain plans to open six new hotels.

The company is looking for 160 staff to work in the new properties in London Finchley, Stockport, East Grinstead, Kings Lynn, Andover and Peterhead.

Travelodge wants to recruit 50 people at its head office in Thame, Oxfordshire in roles ranging from sales, digital marketing, public relations and marketing.

A further 705 vacancies are in hotels across the UK, with 75 of these being hotel manager and assistant manager roles.

The company is also looking to boost its nationwide in-house maintenance team and is looking for ten team members.

The company’s operations director Debbie Husband said: “Joining a hotel company opens the door to training, career progression and even roles in new countries.

“We are recruiting for key roles across our UK hotels and at head office. If you have passion, determination and a real desire to look after people then we will help you learn the rest.

“We have hundreds of colleagues who joined the company, from an entry level position and are now in a management or executive role. The world certainly is your oyster in the hospitality industry.”
