LIVERPOOL John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is to host a Recruitment Day to help fill hundreds of vacancies on offer.
The Speke-based airport is gearing up towards the arrival of Jet2 in late March, and is seeking people to fill over 190 vacancies at the airport.
This summer, the airport is expecting its busiest season in over 5 years, with an extra 500,000 passengers travelling through it to one of the 20 destinations that Jet2/Jet2 Holidays are launching.
The aim of the recruitment day is to ensure the airport is sufficiently staffed throughout its busiest period, as well as maintaining the great passenger service it has to offer – which has helped the airport being named the UK’s Best Airport 2023 in a Which? Best survey.
The annual recruitment event, which the airport organises on behalf of several employers each year, will take place on Thursday 11th January 2024 from 10am-4pm in the main terminal building.
Many of the 192 jobs on offer are mainly full-time, with some part-time jobs on offer too. The event will provide people with the opportunity to speak to representatives from each company with no appointment required.
Many of the jobs on offer include; aircraft dispatch, airlines sales desk, aviation security officers, passenger assistance for people with disabilities, catering and related front of house roles, bar work and retail work.
These roles will be on offer from a number of employers including; Jet2.com, aviation security company Wilson James, catering company SSP, passenger assistance company ABM and retailers such as Boots and duty free shop operator Dufry.
Carol Dutton, Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s HR & Community Director commented, “With a busy summer season ahead and employers here at the airport wanting to ensure our passengers continue to have the best possible airport experience, it’s important to once again make sure that the many vacancies on offer here at the airport are filled in time for the Summer.
We’ll therefore be delighted to welcome along prospective employees who may be considering a career at the airport, to our latest Recruitment Day next Thursday where they will be able to find out about a host of positions currently available across a diverse range of employers, with many hopefully going on to start work here in the coming weeks.”
Anyone wanting to attend the event, can travel to the airport directly using a number of public bus services or can travel by train to nearby Liverpool South Parkway. Alternatively, complimentary parking will be made available for those wanting to travel by car.
