Low-cost airline Wizz Air has invited workers controversially sacked by ferry operator P&O Ferries to apply for jobs. The airline is urging affected employees to apply for a variety of current opportunities.
Permanent roles are available at all four of Wizz Air UK’s bases in Gatwick, Luton, Doncaster Sheffield, and Cardiff. The airline is hosting a series of events across the UK throughout March and April, offering impacted employees the chance to learn more about Wizz Air and apply on the day for the airline’s cabin crew positions.
Cabin crew members joining Wizz Air can expect a competitive salary at one of Europe’s fastest growing and greenest airlines, free industry-leading training, a salary during the initial training period, free uniform and crew meals, an unlimited number of employee tickets, free tickets and fantastic discounts for friends and family and a monthly roster schedule.
A series of recruitment days is being staged at venues throughout the nation during the coming weeks. Candidates are expected to arrive promptly at 9am, with an up-to-date CV, and be prepared for a full-day of activities, including personal introductions, situational role play, team exercises and an individual interview.
Marion Geoffroy, managing director of Wizz Air UK, said: “We can only imagine the worry that impacted P&O employees must be feeling right now. Regardless of experience, we encourage those looking for a new job to attend one of our upcoming recruitment events, to learn more about the exciting opportunities we have on offer.
"We are committed to offering our crews a clear career path and opportunities to develop, as well as roster patterns to allow for an improved work-life balance. With transferable skillsets, we are confident that P&O Ferries employees would be well positioned to join our team and look forward to welcoming new cabin crew to the growing Wizz Air family soon.”
