Budget hotel chain Travelodge is seeking to fill more than 300 positions across its UK operations, including hotels and its head office in Thame, Oxfordshire.

Travelodge operates more than 600 hotels across the UK, Ireland and Spain, and is offering a diverse range of roles.

Opportunities include full-time and part-time positions for hotel managers, assistant managers, bar café team members, housekeeping staff, receptionists and hotel supervisors.

The company is also seeking personnel for procurement, IT, customer services and sales at its head office.

Travelodge emphasised its commitment to creating an attractive workplace with its "Find Where You Belong" initiative.

This programme promotes inclusivity, support and flexibility, allowing staff to feel comfortable and valued.

Travelodge also highlighted the dynamic and diverse nature of the UK hospitality sector, which employs millions and provides valuable first job opportunities for many young people.

Travelodge further emphasised its dedication to staff well-being through its "Better Future" report.

The initiative focuses on offering more 24 plus hour contracts, providing greater stability and predictability for employees.

This flexibility caters particularly to students and parents, allowing parents to work around childcare schedules and students to transfer to hotels near their hometowns during university breaks.

The company is also a Disability Confident-committed employer, actively encouraging the recruitment and retention of disabled individuals and those with health conditions.

Its "Aspire" programme offers colleagues the chance to earn nationally recognised hospitality qualifications funded through the apprenticeship levy.

This comprehensive programme provides a clear path for career development, allowing hotel and maintenance staff to progress from entry-level roles to management positions.

Beyond its established hotel network, Travelodge highlights its flexible working arrangements as a benefit for both parents and students.

Travelodge's recruitment drive underscores the positive outlook for the UK hospitality sector and its commitment to creating a rewarding and inclusive work environment for its staff.
