What if supporting someone’s career journey could also strengthen your team? 💜 For @MargaretRus, HR Manager at @HiltonYork , partnering with Springboard has shown just how powerful that can be. “Sometimes, giving someone a chance can result in gaining some of your most dedicated and loyal team members. At the same time, you have the opportunity to help change someone’s life for the better. The benefits are mutual and far-reaching.” After more than three years of partnership, Margaret has seen the impact of Springboard’s employability programmes - helping people build confidence and skills while connecting employers with motivated, work-ready candidates. A huge thank you to Margaret and the team at Hilton York for supporting people into hospitality careers. 🤝 Could your business help someone take their next step? 👉 Find out how your organisation can support Springboard and help change lives through hospitality: springboard.uk.net/support-u… #Springboard #HospitalityCareers #EmployerPartnership #Hilton

🍽️ A thriving hospitality industry means more opportunities for people to build careers, but rising costs are putting increasing pressure on our hotels, pubs, bars, restaurants, cafés and nightclubs. At Springboard, we work every day to help people build skills, gain confidence and access opportunities in hospitality - supporting the industry with the talent it needs for the future. That’s why we’re supporting @UKHofficial #VATsTheProblem campaign and the call for a fairer 10% VAT rate for hospitality. A stronger, more sustainable hospitality sector means more jobs and more opportunities for the people we support. 👉 Sign the petition and support the #VATsTheProblem campaign: vatstheproblem.co.uk #Springboard #Hospitality #HospitalityIndustry #HospitalityJobs #UKHospitality

“Coming back into work as a refugee was not always easy.” For Oksana, returning to work after a career break meant rebuilding her confidence and finding an opportunity where she could show what she could do.

After completing a placement at the @WaldorfHilton_ , Oksana is now working as a Receptionist at @TheDerbyLondonCity. 🌟 A reminder that with the right support, a career break doesn’t have to be the end of your story - it can be the beginning of a fresh start. 💜 👉 Read Oksana’s full story: loom.ly/tSVpE44 #Springboard #ChangingLivesThroughHospitality #HospitalityCareers #SuccessStory
