Manchester Airport jobs fair to showcase more than 500 roles

Manchester Airport will host its next jobs fair on from 10am to 2pm on Wednesday 5 November at Wythenshawe Forum, showcasing more than 500 roles at the hub.

Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about a career at the airport by speaking to the more than 20 employers operating on-site that will be represented.

Manchester Airports Group (MAG), which owns and operates Manchester Airport as well as East Midlands and London Stansted Airports, is promoting vacancies in Hospitality, Car Parks and Bussing.

Other employers who will be represented at the fair include retailers and franchise operators, including Fever Tree, JD Wetherspoon and Airport Retail Enterprises, as well as airport service providers, including Dnata, Mitie and AES, the engineering delivery partner for Ryanair.

The Airport Academy, which is run in partnership by Manchester Airport and Trafford & Stockport College Group, will also be in attendance promoting its free pre-employment support programmes. These include fully accredited training schemes for those who are on Jobseekers’ Allowance and require additional support before applying for the jobs.

Marcella M’Rabety, Head of Social Sustainability at Manchester Airport, said:

“We are excited to be hosting our autumn jobs fair at Wythenshawe Forum, giving people in communities surrounding the airport and beyond an opportunity to find out more about the varied career paths on offer in aviation. We are proud of our role in serving those communities, not just by connecting them to the places they want to fly to, but also by creating opportunities for local people and ensuring communities share in our success. 

“Now is a great time to start a career here, as we come to the end of our £1.3bn, 10-year transformation programme, creating world-class facilities that will help the airport fulfil its potential as a global gateway for the North.”

Jobseekers securing roles with MAG can take advantage of a wide range of benefits. These include discounts on public transport when travelling to work, free on-site car parking whilst working and when going on holiday, an excellent pension scheme, training programmes, retail discounts plus many more.
