Job description

Inntravel is leading the way in walking holidays - that’s because we’ve walked every step, eaten at every restaurant, and slept in every hotel.

Sustainability and responsible tourism is at the core of everything we do and should be a passion for all of our people.

This is a hybrid role with a minimum of 2 days per week in our Whitwell-on-the-Hill office. Tuesdays and Wednesdays are mandatory office days.

• Act as a key administrative contact for hotels, transport providers, rail partners, airlines and other suppliers.
• Send booking requests and process supplier confirmations accurately.
• Follow up on outstanding responses, availability requests and booking confirmations.
• Resolve supplier administration issues by gathering information and coordinating internal actions.
• Ensure suppliers receive complete and accurate information to facilitate efficient processing.

• Support departmental projects and process improvement initiatives.
• Ensure high levels of accuracy across all administration activities.
• Conduct quality checks on booking records, supplier confirmations and customer documentation.
