Barrhead Travel embarks on recruitment drive

Barrhead Travel is seeking to recruit 50 staff across the country amid continued growth as the industry continues resurgence after two years of Covid curbs. 

Vacancies vary from travel consultant to store manager across the chain’s network of more than 80 high street outlets. 

The new roles are in addition to the group supporting apprenticeships and the government’s Kickstart scheme for young people.

Those successful in applying for the 50 new jobs will be offered  “generous” discounts on holidays and high-street retailers, a training and development programme, as well as an uncapped earning potential with excellent progression opportunities, according to the company.  

Barrhead Travel currently employs more than 500 people. 

President Jacqueline Dobson said: “Following two years of ups and downs, we’re delighted to see the tourism sector emerge once again. The renewed demand in travel has allowed us to expand our offering, in turn growing the team and offering expert training facilities.  

“Demand for travel has continued to grow by around 20% per month since January and we anticipate that the expertise of a reputable travel agent will be highly sought after. 

“This is an ideal opportunity for someone interested in the travel industry and seeking a challenge with excellent career perks and prospects.”
