Travelodge has announced plans to recruit 400 new staff over the summer at its hotels and head office.
The company said a mixture of full-time and part-time jobs and flexible hours were available, adding they were ideal for parents and students.
Jobs include managers, bar and cleaning staff and receptionists.
Katharine Gourley, Travelodge's director of people operations, said: "We offer parents flexible working hours to help them work around the school run, so they can raise their family and have a job that allows them to develop a career when the time is right for them.
"Students can work in a Travelodge whilst studying at university and then transfer to a different hotel when they return home in the holidays."

The 78-room hotel features an on-site restaurant, bar and car-park and is Coslada’s main hotel, situated close to the Civitas Metropolitano Stadium, IFEMA Convention Center and the airport.
The hotel will be renamed Travelodge Madrid Coslada Aeropuerto and the group will invest approximately £0.88million in acquiring the lease and refurbishing the hotel.

If you're considering a last minute staycation during one of the bank holiday weekends we've got to look forward to this month, or at any other time over the next few months, the company's UK hotels have some pretty cheap deals.
Whether you're after a sunny beach getaway, a countryside retreat or maybe a break to one of the major cities including London, Manchester or Edinburgh - Travelodge has got thousands of rooms that are going for £38 or less.
The affordable hotel chain has over 580 hotels across England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales including cities and 100s of UK locations.
To find the money-saving rooms, just head to 'best price finder' and search for where you want to go. It's worth noting that the majority of these bargain rooms tend to be Sunday to Thursday, but you can also find rooms for £38 or less on Friday and Saturday nights too.
