Debbie Hartshorn, people director at Bristol Airport said: “After a busy 2023, the teams at Bristol Airport are gearing up for our busiest ever summer season. In preparation, we will be hosting a jobs fair this month to showcase a wide range of employers, shift patterns and interesting roles to suit people with different skills and experiences.

“This is an exciting time to be working at Bristol Airport as we will be flying to over 115 destinations in 2024. Our business partners, airlines, and Bristol Airport have been able to create new jobs, building up our position as the area’s largest private sector employer.

“Our teams need a good blend of those starting out in their working career and those with more life experience. If you enjoy working as part of a team, are self-motivated and take pride in a job well done, then we could have the perfect opportunity for you. Working at Bristol Airport offers endless possibilities, and you will have a brilliant team behind you who will support you on your journey.”
