We’re currently looking for Reservations advisors to join our small and fun team based in Bournemouth - but don’t think this is just like every other call centre role!
You’ll get to speak to our wonderful customers, many of whom travel multiple times a year and you’ll be booking great value holidays. You’ll be part of a team where everyone knows your name and you’ll get to enjoy a fun and friendly environment.
The role is full time and includes weekend work on a rota basis - you’ll typically work one full weekend and one Saturday or Sunday per month. To ensure our high service levels, we operate a variety of shifts but there’s not silly early starts or super late nights – our earliest shift is 8am – 4.30pm and our latest is 9.30am – 6pm. Sunday we’re only open 9am – 3pm and you get a full day off in the week in lieu, so you’ve still got plenty of time for a life outside work.
