We are a small company and as such, this role will be varied with each person undertaking multiple tasks including booking: venues, tourist guides, transport, food and drink venues and suppliers for a wide variety of tours ranging from wool holidays, coach holidays, private tours, small group tours and tours for Shetland Wool Week.
You will also provide day to day administrative assistance while your line manager/other staff are undertaking tours. These duties range from answering emails, filing, photocopying, laminating, preparing tour packs, preparing invoices and maintaining social media and the Island Vista website.
This job offers the chance to liaise with people from all over the world, so it is important that the successful applicant enjoys working with people, has a cheerful disposition and excellent communication skills. As much of the time will be spent lone working, it is necessary that you are self-motivated, enthusiastic and conscientious.
