Hotel group Travelodge launches search for new staff

A HOTEL group has launched a search to find new staff ahead of the summer season.

Travelodge, which has sites in Winnersh, Reading, and Binfield, says the vacancies need to be filled immediately, and will be inviting applicants to join its inhouse management development programme.

Called Aspire, this offers apprenticeship training and formal qualifications.

The company says its fourlevel programme provides a clear pathway of development for hotel and maintenance colleagues to progress from entry-level roles.

And the vacancies it has can be fitted around life commitments, with flexible hours available. They include roles as a manager, receptionist, housekeeping team, and a hotel team member.

There are also roles in its inhouse maintenance team. These are full-time roles and field based and each Maintenance Engineer has their own designated network of hotels to service which includes carrying out a variety of maintenance related tasks. There are also 14 roles available at Travelodge’s support office in Thame, including Health & Safety Manager, Procurement Manager, Accounts Payable Analyst, IT Business Analyst, Legal Counsel and Customer Service Advisors.

Katharine Gourley, Travelodge, Director of People Operations said: “We are currently looking to fill more than 400 positions across the UK including around ten roles across our 13 Berkshirebased Travelodge hotels. We are looking for enthusiastic people that have a passion and determination to deliver excellent service.” n For more details, log on to https://www.travelodge.co.uk/ careers/
