About you
Are you passionate about putting the customer at the heart of what you do? Then we may have the perfect opportunity for you.
Skills for success:
- Strong communication skills and attention to detail.
- Preferably, you have face-to-face customer service experience, it's not a game changer if you haven't!
- The airport is a lively diverse environment, so you'll be able to adapt your communication style.
- A genuine 'happy to help' demeanour.
- Creative and open-minded in finding ways to achieve outstanding service standards.
- A reasonable degree of digital literacy would be preferred, as we work with several different computer systems. But we'll ensure you receive full training from our fantastic team.
- Sometimes we can't plan for some of our peaks due to bad weather etc, so you will show a willingness to flex with the needs of the business.
You'll love the buzz and energy of teamwork but still thrive being able to work independently. So, if you have a passion for our iconic brand and feel you have the above skills, we'd love to hear from you.
