Join our Travel Academy

Our trainee roles are open to anyone. Previous trainees have joined us from a variety of backgrounds – we’ve had college or university leavers, as well as others who have been working but want a change in career. No experience is necessary but you must be able and willing to complete the training and work from our offices in Worthing, West Sussex. We are proud to be an inclusive team and an equal opportunities employer – we welcome applications regardless of your gender, race, colour, disability, identity, neurodiversity, age, nationality, union affiliation, and religion.

You do not need any experience to apply for our Travel Places Academy. All we ask is that you have a willingness to learn and a passion for starting a career in the travel industry. And there are attributes that we know successful candidates possess, which include strong customer skills, a positive and friendly approach, the ability to problem solve and strong organisational skills.

Our next Travel Places Academy training course starts in September. We are no longer accepting applications for this intake. However, register your interest by completing a form and we will let you know when we open applications for our next programme.

If you are interested in applying for our training programme, simply complete our form with a few details and we will keep you informed when we open applications for our next intake.

Many of our staff travel as part of their role at Travel Places, with on site support being a key part of the service we offer our clients. This year alone, our staff have supported events in Bahrain, New Zealand, San Francisco, Australia and many more locations. You will, of course, need to gain a significant amount of experience before you are ready to travel on site with clients, but for those staff who are keen to travel we will do our best to offer opportunities to do so.

Yes. Our Travel Places Academy training programme is a salaried role and you are paid from the start date of your contract.

We are no longer accepting applications for our September Academy but if you would like to know when we open applications for our next programme, register your interest by completing a form at the bottom of the page.

Once your classroom training is complete, you will spend time with each of our travel and events teams where you will get to see the roles first hand and watch the consultants in action. You will be placed into your permanent role once you are ready, with a team selected based on your skillset and the needs of our business. This is where you will begin your new role as an Events or Flights Consultant.

We believe in providing a working environment that allows our people to grow, both professionally and personally, and makes them feel involved and valued. We take the health and happiness of our employees seriously and we are always evaluating new ways to ensure Travel Places is an amazing place to work. Alongside standard benefits, we organise wellbeing campaigns that support our staff to look after their mental and physical wellbeing, organise fundraising events, offer time off for volunteering or sustainability initiatives, and run a calendar of social activities that help us to spend quality time together outside of work.

Our business has embraced a hybrid working culture, with many of our staff working both in the office and at home, and some roles being offered fully remote. However, the nature of the training means we ask all candidates to commit to being in the office full time for the duration of the training. Once the training is complete, and when we feel it is appropriate, you will have the opportunity to take on our hybrid working pattern should it suit you.
