www.Parctel.com: Eager jobseekers descended on Stansted Airport’s latest Jobsfair on the 1st March, an event that showcased some of the exciting opportunities on offer at the airport.
Careers in a range of airport services including cabin crew, customer service, catering and retail were on display at the event, held at the Hilton Hotel, and organised in partnership by BAA and Jobcentre Plus.
Valda Edmunds, Stansted Airport's community executive, said:
"Stansted currently employs more than 11,500 people in over 180 companies and is the biggest single site employer in the East of England. The Stansted Airport Jobsfair is an extremely successful event that showcases the diverse and exciting range of career opportunities that exist at a growing international airport.
“The high turn out for the Jobsfair clearly demonstrates that Stansted Airport is an attractive and desirable location for people to work, either taking the first steps on the work ladder or looking for a new career direction.”
One of the many benefits of working at Stansted Airport is the wide range of public transport discounts available to staff. The Airport Travel Card offers an attractive option for staff to use public transport, offering significant savings on standard rail, bus and coach fares. BAA also operates a very successful staff car share scheme, which is the largest of its kind in Europe.
Peter Willis, employer engagement manager at Jobcentre Plus, said:
"Jobcentre Plus has developed a great working relationship with BAA to support employers' recruitment needs with a Jobsfair. This event has been another great opportunity for jobseekers to meet potential employers and find out more about the wide range of jobs available and the benefits of working at the airport."
