Virgin Atlantic seeks to recruit 200 more cabin crew

Virgin Atlantic wants to recruit an additional 200 new cabin crew. 

The roles will be part of an initial six-month fixed term contract with a view to extend. 

The intake follows on from a drive to recruit 400 new crew earlier in the year.

Applicants from all backgrounds, no matter age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion or beliefs are encouraged to apply, according to the carrier.

Cabin crew are offered regular training to support career development and opportunities in the travel industry and beyond.

Chief people officer Estelle Hollingsworth said: “We’re thrilled to be recruiting for cabin crew once again.

“A job at Virgin Atlantic allows people to truly fly – to incredible places around the globe as well as in a career that opens up a world of opportunities both within Virgin Atlantic and beyond.

“Our customers and colleagues come from diverse backgrounds and we’re committed to continuing our support of diversity both on the ground and on board.

“We’re seeking new recruits from all backgrounds who aspire to be the friendly, smiling and professional face that is the airline – with the iconic Virgin Atlantic style and flair. 

“We champion difference and individuality, and it’s by encouraging all of our people to truly be themselves at work that we uphold an inclusive environment where they each can thrive.”
