One of the UK's biggest travel agents is looking for staff to work from the comfort of their own home.
Hays Travel are looking to recruit people who are passionate about travel to help with the expected surge in demand for holidays as the coronavirus lockdown restrictions ease.
The opportunity is available to anyone regardless of experience – as long as they share the Hays Travel commitment to help people find their dream holidays.

Irene Hays, co-owner and chair of Hays Travel, said: "We know that Covid-19 means that many people are considering their work options right now.
"Some people have enjoyed the benefits of working from home, while others may be looking for a complete change of career.
“Being a Hays Travel self-employed personal travel consultant means you can work at home with all the flexibility that brings, but you are never alone, because you have our experienced teams right beside you.”

"After Thomas Cook went into liquidation and I was sadly left without a job, I thought it was a perfect time to dive into a new challenge and start my journey as a PTC.
"I love the flexibility that comes with being my own boss, I am able to work around the school runs and family commitments as well as being there for my customers when it is convenient for them.
"The support I am given by the Hays team is amazing, they are always by your side and ready to help.”
As well as expanding the homeworking division, Hays Travel continues to recruit experienced travel agents as well as apprentices for roles in shops across the UK and at the Head Office in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
