TRAVELODGE has launched its autumn recruitment drive, with the hotel chain looking to fill 750 jobs in the UK – and there are roles available in Somerset. 

There are full and part-time roles on offer at its UK hotels, offering flexible working hours for posts including receptionists, bar staff and managers.

Travelodge is targeting parents wanting to return to work now that schools have reopened by offering initiatives such as hours that match the school run.

Craig Bonnar, Travelodge chief executive, said: "There has never been a better time than now to join the UK hospitality sector – the career opportunities are endless.

"We need to fill 750 positions immediately and if you have passion, determination and a real desire to look after people then we will help you learn the rest.

"We operate a dedicated programme to help parents work around the school run, by offering jobs close to home and flexible working hours so that they can raise their family and keep one foot firmly on their career ladder too."

Travelodge has part-time openings at its hotels in Wellington, Burnham-on-Sea, Glastonbury, Weston-super-Mare and Portishead.

The roles will be paid between £8.91 and £9.80 per hour and include housekeeping, reception, bar and café, and multi-skilled roles.
