Manchester jobs: Travelodge have 15 dual location roles for Greater Manchester students - how to apply

Hotel chain Travelodge has launched a brand new student oriented recruitment drive- with 15 roles available in Manchester. The new drive is designed to allow students to work in their university town as well as back home during holidays. 

The dual location recruitment drive has created 400 jobs across the UK, including the 15 in the Greater Manchester region. Positions made available include reception team member, bar cafe team member and linen porter. 

In addition to the 15 student specific roles in Manchester, five positions are available in hotel management. Amongst these roles are assistant hotel manager, supervisor and hotel manager jobs. 

To support its new student recruitment programme, Travelodge, commissioned a study with 500 UK students to seek how they are managing to study in the current financial crisis. Key findings revealed that 85% of students reported that working is a necessity in order to get through university. Over half (55%) of students across the UK are currently working to make ends meet whilst studying. Whilst 40% are seeking employment.  

At Travelodge, students have the opportunity to earn around £10,000 per annum working an 18.5-hour week – with the programme offering students additional development opportunities to build their professional experience or future career in the hospitality industry. This includes access to Travelodge’s in-house management development programme – Aspire – and provision of a ‘work buddy’ to support them in their role. 

Katharine Gourley, Travelodge, Director of People Operations said: “There has never been a better time to join Travelodge, one of the UK’s biggest hotel brands, with our flexible dual-location student recruitment programme designed to support students so they can learn more and earn more in both term and holiday time.  

“We are looking for enthusiastic individuals that have a passion to deliver excellent customer service and we can help students create a great career in a fast-growing global industry with a diverse range of opportunities upon graduation.”
