We’re always on the look-out for Travel Consultants. If you have a love of those ‘Sundowner Moments’ in travel then do get in touch. We are currently looking for staff for the following positions:
Admin/Sales/Travel Assistant
Latin America Designer – Experienced
Intern – 3 months from June 2024
Updated 25 January 2024. Closing date for applications: 6 February 2024.
Admin Assistant
Don’t be fooled by the very standard job title. This is a wide-ranging and important role that you can make your own. From helping to manage client holidays to assisting Holiday Designers with itineraries to chatting to clients before they go on holiday and helping with questions they may have. This is a job for someone passionate about travel who may be looking for a role that will set them on a career in the industry.
The vital requirements are:
- Highly organised with great attention to detail.
- Confident talking to clients on the phone.
- Confident using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
- A love of travel – having travelled on your own for a few months or years or perhaps you’ve spent any opportunity taking short breaks to explore the world. We are particularly looking for people who have travelled in Africa, Asia or Latin America.
Other than that we are just after a positive can-do attitude. Nothing beats a happy office.

Holiday Designers
Be part of our Holiday Designer team, at our office in central Shoreham by Sea near Brighton.
We are looking for experienced specialist travel consultants as well as trainees who are passionate about travel. If you have travelled in Africa, Latin America or Asia or worked in any role for a tailor-made travel company then we would love to hear from you.
Knowledge and first-hand experience of some of the destinations in Africa, Latin America or Asia is vital as you need to be able to talk about the areas and sights and know the moments that can really make a holiday to these areas one of the best.

By confidently talking and actively listening to clients over the telephone and via email, you will be adept at quickly gaining a good understanding of their holiday requirements, and then using that understanding to design and arrange every part of their, often very detailed, holiday. Attention to detail and fantastic organisational skills are therefore essential.
Added to that, we're looking for a positive attitude and the ability to express yourself clearly in writing. This is potentially a dream job, but its also a very demanding one. We work extremely hard, and overseas things do not always go to plan, so a proactive, positive and tenacious approach to problems is vital.
Dependent on skills and experience, the position may also involve product management of specific areas. This means liasing with ground agents, deciding which properties we feature on our website and in our itineraries, negotiating rates and inspecting hotels, guesthouses and camps.
