Hotel chain Hilton is seeking to hire more than 1,000 new staff and create another 350 apprenticeships as it plans to open another nine hotels across the UK and Ireland
New hotels planned for 2022, include Hampton by Hilton Bath City, Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone and a venue close to St. Paul’s in London, as the company anticipates growing demand as international travel resumes.
The recruitment drive follows a strong year at Hilton, despite the continued shifting of Covid restrictions.
During the past 12 months Hilton has taken on nearly 4,000 new staff across the UK and Ireland, including 38 through the UK government’s Kickstart scheme to help 16–24-year-olds into work.
Hilton is offering a variety of roles across different job levels.
From entry level opportunities such as food and beverage assistants, to managerial roles like conference and banquet directors, Hilton provides a world of opportunities for professional and personal development.
It is also dedicated to supporting staff with benefits including sabbaticals and flexible working.
Julie Baker, UK&I vice president operations, Hilton, said: “Whether you’re looking for better flexibility, career progression or want to embrace something completely new, Hilton truly prides itself on creating an award-winning workplace culture where team members are nurtured and can thrive.
"We are utterly thrilled to see the green shoots of recovery and welcome all prospective candidates to apply online, and find out more about the many varied opportunities available.”
Hilton also aims to recruit another 350 apprentices this year, with 30 apprenticeships currently on offer across areas including front desk, food & beverage, and housekeeping.
The programme provides a structured training plan to help participants gain the skills and knowledge for a successful career in hospitality.
