Travelodge launches new recruitment initiative for unemployed parents

Travelodge has recently released a new recruiting platform initiative focused on parents looking to return to the workforce with jobs that fit their needs, such as flexible hours based around school, work counseling, and access to management training.

• New YouGov research reveals 86% of unemployed parents want to return to work
• However 59% of parents find lack of flexibility the biggest barrier to finding work
• Travelodge is targeting ‘parent potential’ to help fill 3,000 new jobs
• Employment Minister Alok Sharma backs new programme
• 550 jobs needs to be filled immediately

This programme is designed to help attract some of the UK’s 2 million plus unemployed parents into hospitality, as part of Travelodge’s plans to open 100 hotels over the next five years, which will create up to 3,000 new jobs.

Jobs will be available across the company’s hotels and head office – including roles in reception, restaurants, housekeeping as well as flexible hours in head office roles.
