Travelodge, London’s largest hotel chain which operates 78 hotels across the capital, has dedicated the whole month of September rather than just a week to celebrate the heroes of its business – its housekeeping team colleagues. As part of its company-wide celebrations, the hotel chain is looking to fill 230 Housekeeping roles across the UK which includes 30 roles in London
These 30 positions are ideal for parents who are looking for a job in London that works around the school run, so that they can raise their family and climb the career ladder. To ease the process, Travelodge offers a five step path to help parents return back to work.
Travelodge welcomes candidates from all walks of life and offers comprehensive training, a work buddy service and access to management training. The company has supported hundreds of colleagues who have joined the company in a housekeeping role to climb the career ladder into a management position.
Detailed below is an outline of Travelodge’s five step path to help parents back to work:
1. Careers advice on its website to help mums and dads return to work
2. Flexible working hours to suit family life
