• Hilton aims to fill nearly 400 job vacancies across the UK by targeting over-50s re-entering the workforce
• Available positions span departments like food and beverage, front office, housekeeping, and engineering
• Hilton’s research shows a growing trend of over-50s seeking career changes or flexible hours to travel
• Many over-50s are motivated to switch jobs due to burnout from current office-based roles

A major hotel chain is looking to attract people over 50 who are seeking to re-enter the workforce as it aims to fill nearly 400 job vacancies across the UK.

The available positions at Hilton span various departments, including food and beverage, front office, housekeeping, culinary, engineering, and events.

The company’s research showed there is a rising trend of over 50s considering career changes or adjusting their work schedules to accommodate travel aspirations.

Hilton's research also revealed that many workers over 50 are motivated to switch jobs due to burnout from their current office-based roles.

Steve Cassidy, Hilton’s senior vice president and managing director, said: “With most working lives stretching through several decades, people are increasingly exploring a second career later in life.

“This growing trend is leading to an upsurge in demand for roles that offer something wholly different, and hospitality has a role to suit every path, whether that’s more flexibility to travel, a more active working life away from a traditional desk job, or a pathway back into work after a period of looking after family members.”
