Join our Team
Do you share our passion for tailor-made travel throughout the UK & Ireland? If so, we want to hear from you!
The Place
McKinlay Kidd is a award-winning domestic travel business. Established since 2003 years, we offer special-experience and tailor-made holidays throughout Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales and the Channel Islands, from road trips to small group rail tours. We are based in an office in a landmark building in central Glasgow.
We pride ourselves on personal service, with a strong focus on customer satisfaction. Our customers come from the UK and abroad – they are well-travelled and discerning.
The company offers plenty of opportunity to develop your skills and knowledge within the travel industry and take on more responsibility within an entrepreneurial yet friendly and supportive team. In August 2024, McKinlay Kidd transitioned to employee ownership.
Speculative Applications
Whether you are looking for a starter role or you are an experienced travel professional and believe you could make a significant contribution to the company’s future growth, please get in touch speculatively by sending your CV and covering letter describing your favourite place in the UK/ Ireland to Zoe Davidson, Managing Director, [email protected].
We are always on the look-out for reliable, calm and professional people to join our team on a full-time basis.
You believe that a holiday in the UK and Ireland can be just as good as one abroad. You are likely to have good knowledge of the geography of Scotland – and potentially England, Wales and Ireland.
We often recruit on attitude and aptitude rather than direct experience especially in sales, customer service and operational roles at a team level. You will be keen to learn and develop your skills in the travel industry.
Ideal candidates have natural sales skills, a strong customer service focus, excellent attention to detail in both literacy and numeracy, and relish the challenge of working as part of a passionate team. You will be a skilled communicator, computer literate and a fast learner.
The core team is based in our office in central Glasgow. We will consider flexible remote working for certain roles, depending on skills and experience. Occasional evening and weekend working is likely to be required at peak times and, once experienced, you will participate in the 24/7 duty office rota for customers on holiday.
