Job Introduction

An opportunity to be in Travel that suits your lifestyle. Are you a confident yet friendly person, with a great telephone manner and a real determination to succeed at whatever you do? Are you looking for a challenging role in a team environment that enables you to work flexible shifts that fit in with your busy lifestyle? Then we have the ideal opportunity for you.

We’re Saga, the UK's leading provider of holidays, financial services, and healthcare products, as well as a hugely successful subscription magazine, all designed for the over 50s. Our worldwide holidays include some incredible destinations, each offering memorable experiences and fantastic value. But, our first thought is always the customer. We hope it's yours too.

Selling excellent holiday experiences to people who are looking for value for money and an unforgettable time, we’ll rely on you to build rapport, meet their needs and fulfil any promises you make to them. A great opportunity to develop an understanding of our travel experiences (which will really help you, progress your career with us in the future), you’ll be part of our excellent lifestyle shift system too, which means you can choose to work mornings, afternoons and/or weekends.

As well as dealing with incoming calls efficiently, accurately and promptly, you’ll need to make some outbound calls and communicate with them in writing too. For instance, when answering a requested call back or making changes to a booking. Oh, and don't worry if you haven’t got any sales experience - though of course this is welcomed - as we’ll give you all the training and support you need. What you need to bring is a methodical, yet flexible approach, great listening, learning and multi-tasking skills, the ability to connect with everyone you deal with and lots of enthusiasm for selling our products.   If you’re keen to make your mark, we also offer great pay progression and commission, meaning the more you achieve, the more you can earn!

In return, you can look forward to a great benefits package including private medical insurance, pension, childcare vouchers, crèche and discounts on insurance products, holidays and flights for you and your relatives.
