Role purpose

In preparation for summer travel, we’re expanding our Service Team to support our guests over the summer period. It’s an on-call team like no other and we need caring, confident people to join for a short stint on the front line as a paid Summer Intern. Our Service Team are our guest’s fixers – quick thinking, responsive and service focused. One minute they’ll be helping our guests with their arrival plans, the next, handling queries and organising additional services to make sure every guest has a brilliant experience. If you enjoy a fast paced environment and solving problems, then we would love to hear from you.
