Hotel chain Travelodge has launched a recruitment drive aimed at hiring 4,000 housekeeping roles this year.

The company said it was hoping to attract parents wanting to return to work by offering flexible hours designed around the school run.

The jobs will be in new Travelodge hotels opening this year, additional summer cover and to fill vacancies that become available in the company's 573 º£½ÇÊÓÆµ hotels.

Around 150 vacancies need to be filled immediately.

Travelodge said its housekeeping teams are regarded as the company's "heroes", collectively spending over one million hours a year making-up beds.

Rebecca Baker of Travelodge said: "We have made it our mission to help unemployed parents return to work in the hospitality sector and working in housekeeping is a great route in.

"We have a strong established workforce of working parents, offering jobs close to home, flexible hours that can work around the school run, benefits that suit families and a career path into management specifically for mums and dads."

Travelodge said many of its hotel managers started in a housekeeping job.
