The roles will be filled on an initial six-month fixed-term contract, with a view to being extended. This intake follows a drive earlier this year to recruit another 400 new members of crew. In its pitch to potential applicants, Virgin repeatedly reiterates its commitment to diversity and inclusivity in its recruitment.
"Applicants from all backgrounds, no matter age, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability, religion or beliefs, are encouraged to apply to join an inclusive workplace where colleagues are supported to be themselves," said Virgin.
