Barrhead Travel is aiming to hire 50 staff, citing "growth as the tourism industry continues its resurgence after the last two years", declaring demand for travel had increased by around 20% per month since January.
The travel agent, which has more than 80 stores and currently employs in excess of 500 staff, is hiring for roles ranging from travel consultant to store manager.
It added that it was, in addition to the recruitment drive, continuing to offer young people the chance to "grow a prosperous career as a proud supporter of modern apprenticeships and the Kickstart scheme".
It added: " From sales to administration and from marketing to IT, there are a variety of opportunities for young people to launch a lifelong career in travel."
Jacqueline Dobson, president of Barrhead Travel said: “Following two years of ups and downs, we’re delighted to see the tourism sector emerge once again. The renewed demand in travel has allowed us to expand our offering, in turn growing the team and offering expert training facilities.
“Demand for travel has continued to grow by around 20% per month since January and we anticipate that the expertise of a reputable travel agent will be highly sought after."
Barrhead flagged "generous discounts on holidays" as one of its staff benefits.
Ms Dobson said: “This is an ideal opportunity for someone interested in the travel industry and seeking a challenge with excellent career perks and prospects.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
