Vacancy – travel consultant Back to News

Considering a Career in Travel?

We are looking to expand our small team further, with recruitment of a travel consultant to join our bookings team.

The job primarily entails:

• advising customers on our wide range of self-guided walking holidays
• taking and tailoring bookings to their requirements
• using our bespoke reservations software (full training will be given) to book hotels and other services in the UK and Europe

On Foot is very customer focused so there is ample opportunity to engage with our walkers, many of whom have done multiple holidays with us.

You should:

• have excellent and up-to-date computer literacy (Word/Excel/Outlook)
• be outgoing, assiduous and confident
• have a professional yet friendly telephone manner
• have excellent written English

It would be great if you had in addition:

• language skills (in particular Spanish/Italian)
• an all-round education to degree level
• a love of walking in your spare time
• an understanding of Europe and its cultures

The job can be full-time (40 hours per week, Monday to Friday), or part-time (24-40 hours per week), with some Saturdays (after initial training, time off in lieu). Job sharing may be considered. The job will be fully office-based, so the ideal candidate will live in the Salisbury area or within 30 minutes commute.

We can offer:

• excellent prospects for the right candidate, within and outside the bookings team
• an initial quoted salary, based on 40 hours per week, from £25,500 per year
• 29 days paid holiday (including bank holidays) if full-time
• generous pension contributions
• the opportunity to walk our much-loved routes

To apply, send your CV and a personal covering paragraph explaining why you think you are a good fit for this particular position. Applications without will not be acknowledged. Apply by email to Simon Scutt, Director, at simon@onfootholidays.co.uk, or call us on 01722 322652 if you have any questions.
