Jobs at ABTA

ABTA is recruiting for a Customer Support Adviser to join the Legal and Customer Support department on a permanent contract.

The customers experience begins long before they travel and often after their return. As an ambassador for ABTA and our Members, you’ll be an integral part of a dedicated team who, through excellent customer service, can help the customer and ABTA Member when something goes wrong.  Using a range of communication skills, such as email, letters and most often answering incoming calls, you’ll support our customers.

The Ideal candidate should have:

• A high standard of literacy and excellent communication skills;
