HUNDREDS of seasonal jobs will be showcased in an event at Leeds Bradford Airport this month.

Around 300 summer vacancies will be discussed at the annual LBA Job Fair in the terminal building on Saturday, January 21.

Jobseekers will be able to find out more about vacancies for cabin crew, as well as jobs in passenger services, customer services, retail, hospitality, and baggage handling.

Companies at the event will include Jet2.com, World Duty Free, Swissport and several retail outlets. Vacancies will be for this year's summer season. Last year the airport recorded its busiest ever year, with 3.5m passengers travelling through.

The job fair will run from 11am to 2pm. Places must be booked in advance at www.leedsbradfordairport.co.uk/job-fair-2017. Information about the application process and details of each vacancy will be available from each of the companies at the event.

Emily Bramley, Passenger Services Manager at LBA, said: "We are preparing for a very busy summer season here at LBA in 2017 and so we’re keen to invite jobseekers along to our Job Fair. We are looking for people with a wide range of skill sets and experience to contribute to the success of the airport – whether that be by working directly for LBA or for one of our business or airline partners.

"It’s really exciting working in an airport, it’s a buzzing atmosphere and every day is different.In return, those joining will gain further experience and a great career opportunity."

The event runs annually, with many people successfully applying for jobs at LBA after attending the event. Airport Ambassador Tony Ingham said: "At the beginning of 2016 I attended the LBA Job Fair to find out about upcoming vacancies. I talked to various members of staff from different departments within the airport and decided to apply for the Airport Ambassador position with great success.

"I have now been employed for approximately ten months and I’m enjoying it immensely. The work is varied and very interesting; no two days are the same."
