Hundreds of jobs are available at one of the UK's biggest airports as it plans ahead for the forthcoming winter holiday getaway. Some 650 roles are available at Manchester Airport, ranging from retail and hospitality opportunities to various operational posts.
Jobs include customer services, security staff, hospitality and car parking. In addition to the operational roles, there are also almost 100 jobs available in IT, finance, energy, assets, commercial and engineering.
A jobs fair is being staged on Thursday highlighting the roles available, including those vacancies among third-party suppliers. Companies taking part include Dnata Catering, HMS Host, DHL, Menzies Aviation and Interstate Hotels. Retail partners will also be on hand to showcase roles available at outlets including Wagamama, Spar, Costa Coffee, Pret a Manger, JD Sports, WHSmith, Boots and KFC.
Attendees at the jobs fair will get the chance to engage directly with employers, putting any questions they may have to those who are recruiting and will also learn more about what employers are looking for from applicants, boosting their chances of securing employment at the airport.
Chris Woodroofe, managing director at Manchester Airport, said: “After a busy summer where we have flown more than 2.7 million people off on their holidays, it is great to now be focusing on the months ahead with this jobs fair. We’re committed to ensuring that our neighbouring communities share in the benefits of having a major international airport nearby, so it is particularly pleasing to host this jobs fair.
“There are a wide range of roles available, both with Manchester Airport and its partners, and I very much look forward to welcoming all successful candidates when they start their career journey here.”
The jobs fair is being organised by the Manchester Airport Academy and is in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions and Manchester City Council taking place on Thursday at the Forum Centre in Wythenshawe on Thursday September 22 between 10am and 1pm.
