The Reservations Advisor

We’re currently looking for advisors to join our fun and friendly team based in Bournemouth - but don’t think this is just like every other call centre role.

Sunday we’re only open 9am - 3pm and you get a full day off in the week in lieu, so you’ve still got plenty of time for a life outside work.
