Tui Group to recruit 1,500 new staff in UK and overseas

A total of 500 jobs are being offered in technology and e-commerce, with another 1,000 in 100 holiday destinations. 

The IT jobs are to bolster Tui’s digital platform, including Tui Musement, the excursions and experiences brand.

“Tui has continued to invest in the digitalisation of its own processes and products during the pandemic,” said Sybille Reiss, Tui Group executive board member responsible for HR. 

“We expect summer 2022 bookings to return close to normalized summer 2019 levels and are now expanding our teams in the areas of digitalisation and destinations to continue writing our success story after two years of the pandemic,” she added. 

Tui said there was a particular need for software and data engineers plus technical and digital analysts.

It added most jobs could be taken up anywhere in Europe, regardless of where the future team is based. 

“Employees decide for themselves where they work. Mandatory attendance at offices is a thing of the past, if the job profile allows it,” it said.

The operator now has the Tui Workwide programme, where employees can work from anywhere in the world for up to 30 working days a year. Spain and Greece are among the top destinations, but the programme has also been used for stays in countries such as Australia, Ecuador and India.

In addition, resort roles on offer include tour guides, childcare experts, fitness trainers or in the entertainment area of the company’s own hotels and clubs.
