European LCC easyJet is launching a new recruitment drive for cabin crew with more over 50s, careers changers and those looking to \u2018unretire\u2019\u00a0 among those being encouraged to apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

The airline has launched a new initiative dubbed \u2018Returnships\u2019, after new research showed that three quarters of over 50\u2019s (74%) agreed that this was the perfect time for a new career and 67% have considered returning to work.<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the campaign, the airline will offer free online cabin crew career info sessions and a hands-on cabin crew training taster session at its London Gatwick cabin crew training centre, to give those considering a new career the opportunity to find out more about the job from the airline\u2019s crew training and recruitment experts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Brown, Director of Cabin Services at easyJet, said: <\/span>\u201cSince launching our campaign to encourage more over 50s and career changers to become cabin crew, we\u2019ve been delighted by the fantastic response with many more joining us and we want to see that continue.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing cabin crew can be a job for anyone with the skills, no matter their age, which is why it\u2019s important that through our initiatives like our \u2018Returnship\u2019 campaign, we tackle misconceptions about the job and broaden horizons for even more talented people looking for a new opportunity who can bring their wealth of life experience to the industry.<\/p>\n
