Apprentices will also be able to enjoy working as part of a team and take part in social events and activities.

Last year the Sunderland-based company took on almost 700 apprentices for retail and head office roles and stressed that many of those on the management team started as apprentices themselves.

The company is looking for people who are passionate about travel and a post announcing the apprenticeships on the Hays Travel Facebook page has already attracted huge interest.

It comes as the travel and tourism industry has started to open up following the easing of coronavirus restrictions.

The Government is using a traffic light system to determine the quarantine and testing requirements for returning travellers from destinations abroad.

Green means no quarantine and one post-arrival test, amber means a 10-day quarantine at home and two post-arrival tests, while red means hotel quarantine costing £1,750 for solo travellers.
