Liverpool John Lennon Airport Recruitment Day – Who is welcome?

LJLA is welcoming anyone who has an interest in a career at the airport.

Those who attend will be able to talk to representatives from each of the companies that are looking to recruit employees.

Some employers are looking to undertake interviews on the day too.

Appointments do not need to be booked in advance.

A variety of job opportunities are currently available with roles such as aviation security officers, handling agent passenger services roles, baggage handling, passenger assistance for people with disabilities, catering and related front-of-house roles, bar work and retail work all on offer.

Last year, the airport held a similar event and almost 1,000 people attended with some even queuing out the door.

The success of the 2022 event meant staffing levels across the business were in place in time for the busy Summer season.

The airport has received a number of awards including the Best UK Airport accolade in the 2022 Which? Airport Survey.

For those wishing to use public transport to travel to the event, a number of bus services call at the airport, whilst nearby Liverpool South Parkway provides a link to the region’s rail network for anyone travelling here from further afield. Complimentary parking will also be available for those travelling by car.

Carol Dutton, Liverpool John Lennon Airport’s HR & Community Director commented: “Following the success of last year’s event, we are once again opening our doors so that anyone considering a career at the airport can find out about a host of positions currently available across a diverse range of employers."

She added they were looking forward to welcoming "lots of applicants" who would hopefully start work there in the coming weeks.

Additionally, she said that the day has the "common goal" in mind of "giving our passengers the best possible airport experience.”
