We're currently on the look-out for enthusiastic individuals to join our team, based in Stratford, East London. As a small company you'd be involved in a wide variety of activities on a day-to-day basis, mainly focused on the selling of long-haul holidays. The main activities you would be involved with include:

Dealing with holiday enquiries received by e-mail and over the telephone.

Compiling holiday quotes for prospective clients.

Destination research to broaden your knowledge - this may include overseas travel.

Selling the right holiday to the right client.

Post-booking administration of holiday bookings.

Making the tea!

Good communication skills - both spoken and written - are invaluable.

Being Internet-savvy is a must.

Computer skills, including Word and Outlook, would be important.

The ability to work as a part of a close-knit team is essential.

Flexibility is important - we're flexible, and would hope that you can be too.

Being able to make a good cup of tea would also be advantageous.

A travel background is ideal, with previous experience in the industry - ideally as a travel agent or tour operator - being preferred.

Practical travel experience is also good - as we deal purely with long-haul destinations, first-hand experience of long-haul travel, especially in the Far East, East Africa, the Middle East or Latin America, would be beneficial.
