Leeds
Bradford Airport Job Vacancies
Leeds Bradford Airport has recently hit the
headlines thanks to its impressive growth figures and positive
development forecast. The airport has secured a major deal with
Europe’s largest budget airline Ryanair that will see around
1000 sustainable new jobs created. There are also plans to
increase the size of the main terminal building, meaning there
will be increased levels of employment for those in the
construction and maintenance industries. Leeds Bradford Airport
car parking facilities both on and off the airport site will be
developed to cope with the anticipated 1 million extra
passengers and public transport links to the cities of
Bradford, Leeds and York will be extended.
Such positive plans are great news for job
hunters living in and around the Yorkshire area as over the
coming months vacancies become available. Leeds Bradford
Airport is an attractive employer for local candidates and
those who are prepared to commute. It is well served by the
local road and motorway network meaning commuters can travel in
from Leeds, Bradford, York, Manchester, Harrogate, Huddersfield
and other surrounding towns.
To run successfully Leeds Bradford Airport
employs a significant number of employees in a variety of
roles. Many of the positions filled within the airport are
employed directly by the airport, whilst others are managed by
private contractors.

Additionally, many professional job
vacancies are recruited via Recruitment Agencies. If you

able to advise you which recruitment agencies they use for your
specific discipline (as the agency used to find air traffic
control staff is likely to be different than that used to find
Finance staff for example).
Fire and Rescue Services
Fire and Rescue Services are required by law
at all UK airports and the Airport is responsible for
recruiting and training all Fire and Rescue staff. Experienced
Fire Fighters are preferred, but the airport will train all new
recruits and offer suitable positions upon completion of the
CAA training course. This is a physically demanding role and is
not suitable to all people. Full details of Fire and Rescue job
vacancies can be found on the Leeds Bradford Airport
website.
Other jobs types at Leeds Bradford Airport
which are managed by private organisations, rather than the
airport itself include:
For each of these areas you need to
familiarise yourself with the specific employers. Cabin crew
applicants for example should be aware of the airlines
operating out of Leeds Bradford Airport. Do your research so
you are aware of where exactly you should send your application
form.
Two of the major airlines operating from
Leeds Bradford Airport are Ryanair and Jet2. As they employ
pilots, cabin crew and ground staff you should consider going
directly to their websites to find details of any job vacancies
at Leeds Bradford Airport. With their recent expansion plans
recently revealed, Ryanair may shortly be recruiting a high
number of staff so be sure to check out their website on a
daily basis.
Jet2 currently have details of 14 live job
vacancies at Leeds Bradford Airport which are available for
application via their website. These range from Financial
Accounts Assistant to Flight Crew Manager and Senior Goods-In

Regardless of the vacancy you are searching
for, if you work at an airport or with an airline you should
expect a demanding shift pattern. An airport does not operate
on a 9-5 basis, and many functions require staff on a 24-hour
basis. With such staff coverage required you will find that
Leeds Bradford Airport will have job vacancies available for
full time, part time and seasonal staff. This means that many
jobs are ideal for students or people with families who cannot
work full time.

yourself and increase your chances of securing a job at Leeds
Bradford Airport…
If you are looking to change career or are
just starting out in your working life and want to work in the
aviation industry you may find that typically all jobs

candidates find themselves in a “catch 22” situation, whereby
they cannot secure a job to get the required experience as they
themselves have no previous experience.

runs an Academy for people who are determined to carve out a
successful career within the aviation industry. This Academy
offers specialist courses for candidates looking for experience
in a variety of careers, including air cabin crew, passenger
service agents, air traffic control staff pilots and more.
