Over 2,500 jobs will be on offer from the likes of Jet2.com, Costa Coffee and Aviator at a Jobs Fair to be held at Manchester Airport on Wednesday.
The event, to be held at the Runway Visitor Park from 11am to 7pm, reflects the “ongoing successful performance” of the airport that has resulted in the creation of a large number of new roles across the entire airport.
Twenty-six employers will be in attendance on Wednesday to recruit for a variety of roles, including:
- Airport security
- Check-in
- Baggage handlers
- Cabin crew
- Retail
- Hospitality
- Aircraft dispatchers
- Engineering
- Drivers
- Customer service
- Receptionists
Manchester Airport will have a number of permanent positions available at the Jobs Fair in addition to the other companies exhibiting.
Managing director, Ken O’Toole, said: “We are delighted that 2,500 jobs will be available across the airport site at the Jobs Fair in January 2016. Not only will these roles directly feed into, and increase, the 21,500 positions currently across the airport site, but they will also plug into the wider 45,000 jobs the airport indirectly supports across the region.
“We look forward to welcoming people from our local communities and the wider region on 13th January and wish them every success in accessing the variety of roles available.”
Employers will include World Duty Free Group, The Nuance Group, Costa Coffee, WH Smith, Aviator, Menzies Aviation, Holiday Inn Express, Jet2.com and Jet2Holidays.
There will be free admission and free parking at the event, with a free shuttle bus from the airport’s train station every 30 minutes.
