Hotel giant Travelodge has launched a recruitment drive to fill more than 400 posts. The jobs will be a mixture of full and part-time positions across their 13 East Midlands
locations and at its head office in Oxfordshire.

Travelodge said it will be recruiting managers, bar and cafe staff, housekeepers, receptionists and for its in-house maintenance team, as well as in areas such as finance and marketing.

The company said it wants to attract parents by offering flexible working hours around the school run. Hannah Thomson, Travelodge’s chief people officer, said: “The start of a new year is a great opportunity to kick-start a career change.

We are currently searching for 435 new colleagues to join our Travelodge family and we welcome everyone, from all walks of life.”

She added: “Travelodge is also a great choice for mums and dads looking to begin or restart their career. Our ‘Working Parents Programme’ offers jobs close to home, hours that can match the school run, benefits that suit families and a career path at a time that suits them.

It is the one-stop programme to help parents work, raise their family and keep their career goals within reach.”
