Full job description

As the leading wildlife tour specialist in the world, Naturetrek offers the widest selection of expert-led wildlife holidays and expedition cruises to some of the most spectacular regions on earth. Staffed by wildlife enthusiasts and dedicated travel professionals, we are passionate about organising outstanding, competitively priced, responsible wildlife experiences around the world. Our office-based staff and tour leaders are our greatest asset; our meticulous planning, attention to detail, thorough research, knowledge and passion for the natural world ensure our wildlife holidays are second to none. As important as our academic and professional backgrounds, are our less-tangible skills: empathy with our clients, pro-activity in pioneering new ideas, the ability to deliver under pressure, dedication to our work and a passion for the natural world.

Below we list any current positions for which we’re recruiting, both where positions are vacant and where there is potential for a talented individual to join us in a new role.

How to apply

Please post a copy of your CV and cover letter, outlining your background, any relevant information, and why you consider yourself suitable for the position, to Andy Tucker at Naturetrek, Mingledown Barn, Wolfs Lane, Chawton, Alton, Hampshire, GU34 3HJ, or email Andy at [email protected].

Please note that acknowledgements will be sent only to those applicants invited to interview.

Operations Assistant

This is an exciting opportunity to assist with the management of a portfolio of Naturetrek holidays from our Mingledown Barn office in Chawton, near Alton, Hampshire.

The successful applicant will require meticulous administrational and organisational skills, attention to detail, accuracy, common sense, outstanding literacy and numeracy skills, a confident telephone manner, motivation within a busy office, and a natural ability for flexibility and negotiation. Confident IT skills, including a high degree of proficiency in MS Office, are also essential. The role will involve assisting one of our operations managers in liaising with hotels, airlines, local ground operators, tour leaders and other suppliers, as well as offering first-rate customer service and advice to Naturetrek clients, on the phone and over email.

This office-based role could be combined with some travel and tour leading if the candidate is a keen, active and knowledgeable birder, botanist or lepidopterist with outstanding people skills and a clean driving license. First and foremost, however, we are looking for an office-based administrator.

Person specification:

Demonstrable communication and interpersonal skills.
Meticulous attention to detail
Excellent team player
Proactive and focused
Pride in work
Passion for travel and the natural world

For tour leading (if you wish to be considered for this), you will need to be a sharp field birder or botanist, with outstanding people skills, an unflappable temperament and a full, clean driving license

Main Duties

Assisting one of our Operations Managers in the planning and execution of our industry-leading wildlife holidays
Receiving and handle enquiries from our clients
Liaising with our tour leaders regarding pre-trip information
Compiling and distribute joining instructions and leader packs
Helping to log and handle payments, dietary requirements, flight and seat requests
Helping to collate holiday images and highlights for social media and e-marketing purposes
Booking rental vehicles, train tickets, hotels and other services
Helping to research and put together new holidays, and to occasionally travel with this purpose

Salary and benefits

Negotiable depending on experience
20 days holiday plus bank holidays initially, climbing to 25 days
Beautiful rural office surroundings in Jane Austen’s village of Chawton
Fun-loving, wildlife-obsessed colleagues
Opportunities for travel
