Barrhead announces dozens more jobs in Scotland
Barrhead Travel is creating 45 new jobs across its Glasgow stores.
The travel group is looking for destination specialists – especially those with an in-depth knowledge of cruise and long-haul locations – who will tailor-make bespoke holiday packages for clients.
Barrhead said the recruitment drive comes as it continues with a programme of business expansion and invests in new technology across the business.
As well as destination specialists, the company also plans to recruit a number of managerial staff to support the growth and development of its specialist teams.
Chief executive Sharon Munro said: "This is a great time to join Barrhead Travel as we continue to expand across the country. We are also investing significantly in new technology, so our new recruits will be among the first to work with some cutting-edge artificial intelligence and virtual reality elements.
"Our destination specialists will receive competitive salaries and the chance to develop their career in a rapidly-expanding company, where benefits and incentives include discounts on holidays, familiarisation trips all over the world, and uncapped commission.
"We also offer bespoke training programmes and personal development plans, supported by our dedicated Training Academy, based in the heart of Glasgow city centre."
