About us

We're Travel Chapter. We are a market leader in self-catering holidays. Having evolved from a small South West holiday letting agency to a UK network of travel brands, we pride ourselves on delivering the very best service to our customers and property owners alike. Along the way, we’ve nurtured a caring and collaborative culture that drives us forward and keeps our team inspired and motivated every day. We are passionate about what we do, and we like to have fun whilst doing it. We take a common-sense approach to getting things done. We get things wrong at times and that’s ok! We learn from it and adapt, remembering to stay curious and never stop evolving.

Your next chapter

If you’re ambitious and love building and developing relationships with property owners, then you’d fit right in. If you’re data-led, eager to learn and good at creating and maintaining quality relationships, we’d love to hear from you. We offer a flexible working environment where you can take advantage of that essential remote ‘thinking time’, as well as enjoying time out on the road meeting owners and exploring the beautiful places we live. Your work location would be working from home and covering the Cornwall area.

What's in it for you

Apart from joining a rapidly growing company with a great culture and a big focus on employee development, the great news is we also offer competitive salaries and benefits which we feel look after our team well. These include:

  • 25 days’ paid holidays plus bank holidays (pro rata)
  • A day off for your or a loved one’s birthday
  • £500 paid towards a holiday of your choice
  • A paid day to volunteer with a charity of your choice
  • Friends and family discount scheme
  • Life assurance for your peace of mind
  • Social clubs - whether you’re into pets, fitness, gardening, sustainability or nutrition, there's something for everyone
  • Great social events - we are well known for our Christmas parties!

Diversity is key to our success, and we work hard to make sure we’re inclusive. Let us know if you need any adjustments made to the application or selection process so you can do your best. We’ll be happy to help.

What will I be doing?

You’ll undertake a variety of organisational tasks across all premises and our vehicle fleet. This will include all oversight of aspects of Health & Safety and the role will at times be hands-on.

Primarily, you’ll be visiting all our amazing offices within your region to ensure all our compliance licenses are up to date and perform Health, Safety, and Fire safety checks. In collaboration with the relevant stakeholders, you’ll be the initial point of contact when it comes to the day-to-day management of our office refurbishments - overseeing all aspects of relevant projects from financial planning and budgetary control, through supplies, quotes, negotiating contracts and keeping everything running efficiently and on track, reporting into the Head of Facilities on a regular basis.

This is a varied and diverse role, and you’ll have the opportunity of working at relative arm’s length from the Head of Facilities, taking localised ownership over projects and tasks in your region as applicable. You’ll truly fall in love with this role as your confidence grows and our local teams will look to you to bring positive changes to the facilities they work in.

Please be aware that, due to being responsible for all our offices in the West, you will need to hold a full driving licence and be comfortable travelling regularly, and occasionally out of area, to fulfil your duties.
