Work For Us

We love travel and we believe that people who love travel are brilliant at designing Sundowner holidays. Holidays that are about those moments that immerse you wholly into your surroundings. Drinking chai on a plastic stool by the roadside and being checked out by a cow. Running down a huge sand dune in the desert, arms like windmills. Watching an ancient city come to life with the sunrise. Hiking for hours through a rainforest to plunge into a natural pool. Kayaking on tropical seas to an island hideaway. Shopping in the market and cooking lunch for a local. Avoiding eye contact with a gorilla.
We’re always on the look-out for Travel Consultants. If you have a love of those ‘Sundowner Moments’ in travel then do get in touch. We are currently looking for staff for the following positions:
Latin America Holiday Designer – Experienced
Asia Holiday Designer – Experienced
Africa Holiday Designer – Experienced
Updated 31 October 2024. Closing date for applications: 21 November 2024.

Admin Assistant

Don’t be fooled by the very standard job title. This is a wide-ranging and important role that you can make your own. From helping to manage client holidays to assisting Holiday Designers with itineraries to chatting to clients before they go on holiday and helping with questions they may have. This is a job for someone passionate about travel who may be looking for a role that will set them on a career in the industry.

The vital requirements are:
- Highly organised with great attention to detail.
- Confident talking to clients on the phone.
- Confident using Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word.
- Travel in Africa, Asia or Latin America.

Other than that we are just after a positive can-do attitude. Nothing beats a happy office.

Often our Admin Assistants move into a Holiday Designer role. And this is the path that the successful candidate could follow. If this is what you're looking for then the time in the role of Admin Assistant can vary from 1 to 2 years – the timing will be all about you. Get stuck in, become part of the team and take the initiative to drive yourself forward and we will happily reward your hard work with a step up to the next rung on the ladder.

We are a small team, with a love of designing amazing holidays for our clients. To join us, please send your CV (that includes the places you have travelled) and a covering letter explaining why you are perfect for the job to careers@sundownerholidays.co.uk



Holiday Designers

We are looking for experienced specialist travel consultants to design holidays to Africa, Asia or Latin America.

CREATING MEMORIES: We believe that memorable moments form the most perfect holiday – a story around a campfire; eating street-side on a plastic chair; a beautiful sunset; the sound of monkeys calling through the rainforest. And we think these moments are easier to attain by staying in independent boutique hotels and luxury hideaways. These ideals form the basis of our holidays.

REAL TRAVEL EXPERTS: We are looking for someone who loves travel. Someone who knows the exceptional guides, the best places to stay, the authentic experiences and all the detail in between.


IT’S ALL ABOUT OUR CLIENTS: We aim to surpass client expectations every step of the way. This ensures we have lovely repeat clients and word of mouth referrals (as well as a 99% five-star rating on Trustpilot). We therefore expect our Holiday Designers to be brilliant at exceeding client expectations and going the extra mile.

Must-have Experience & Skills:
- Previous experience of working as a tailor-made travel consultant
- Experience of designing complex holiday itineraries
- Passion for travel
- Literate & numerate with a high level of attention to detail
- Strong written & verbal communication skills
- Excellent organisation skills to ensure fantastic client service
- Positive can-do attitude

If you are passionate about travel then we would love to hear from you. Please email your CV to careers@sundownerholidays.co.uk with your salary expectations and covering letter detailing your experience and what you are looking for or call James or Jo on 01273 923100 for more information.

Package includes:
Flexible Hours
Hybrid Opportunities
Familiarisation trip at least once per year
Birthday off
Optional volunteering day off once per year
