Would you like to gain work experience within an international and multicultural environment? Do you enjoy spending time with young people from across the globe and providing world class customer service? If so, challenge yourself this summer as a Summer Transportation Lead with EF Education First summer camps.
Your Role and Responsibilities
EF is searching for empathetic, energetic and organised individuals to join our summer team as a Transportation Coordinator in our summer camps in Bournemouth. This is the perfect opportunity to develop your customer service skills whilst gaining experience within an international organisation.
As the Summer Transportation Lead, you will be one of the first faces in the school for both our students and our staff upon their arrival. You will be responsible for welcoming our students into the summer camp with a smile, by being approachable for their needs as well as creating a lively and exciting atmosphere for them to enjoy.
This role within transportation has links to all departments and as it is the core of the production of the EF school, as such, no day will be the same. This means you will be involved in a number of different areas including preparing and running arrivals, relaying activity information and delivering briefings to new staff. You will need to communicate with our centralised transportation team, worldwide sales offices and course leaders from around the globe to put together a sufficient plan to welcome hundreds of new students every week alongside planning their departure.
The role can be very rewarding as it involves working alongside all the departments as well as closely with the students. You will develop knowledge from each department and is, therefore, a great stepping-stone for future roles within the company. Dealing with student and staff queries daily, you will not only enhance your customer service skills but also your communication skills and your ability to problem-solve and react quickly to demanding tasks. You will also share the emergency duty of the site on a rota basis.
