You’ll be ready to tackle each challenge as it comes, and spot opportunities to promote amazing products and services that our customers may not be aware of. Importantly, you’ll always look for ways to add your own dash of Virgin flair - creating those magic moments they didn’t even expect. Our people are the heart and soul of our success. Without them, we couldn’t get off the ground. We’ll coach you and help unlock your true potential, giving you amazing training opportunities to build and grow your career. Fun fact - almost 100% of our managers and team leaders worked their way up internally.

Day to day

Your Working Week We’ve learned to adapt our ways of working significantly - meeting virtually over the coffee table, setting up workspaces in our spare rooms and embracing the consistent cries of ‘you’re on mute’. But we also recognise the importance of having your teammates on hand to support you and set you up for success, especially when you’re starting out. That’s why we provide a flexible balance between home and office-based working, so after successfully completing your eight-week induction, your working week might look like two days in the office and three days from home. What We Offer

• Seven-week on-boarding programme, including a seven-week training course. It’s fast-paced and turbulent at times, but we believe it makes things…well, just a bit more fun.
• Up to seven flights a year to any of Virgin Atlantic’s global destinations (did someone say Vegas?)
• Generous contributory pension scheme
• High-energy work environment that supports diversity, equity, and inclusion and encourages you to bring your whole self to work.
• Access to our employee assistance programme and Digital GP service.
• Continuous mentoring and development through a dedicated development programme to support your career progression.
