OPERATIONS ASSISTANT (MANDARIN SPEAKER)
We're currently looking for a full-time Operations Assistant. This is a key position within our small, friendly team. This is a busy role which can change in line with the seasonality of some of our key programmes - no two days are the same! As Operations Assistant, you will be based in our Front Office and be the first contact most potential and existing students, homestay hosts, staff and third parties have with the company. You will always ensure the best possible welcome and ‘can-do’ attitude, whether in a face-to-face situation, responding to an email or answering the telephone. You will liaise with staff in all areas of the business as well as attending to student and visitor requests/enquiries. You will also have an important logistical, planning and administrative role in our Group Study Holidays (GSH) and International Summer School (ISS) operations. Student welfare, child protection and the Prevent strategy are all key elements running throughout our business. As such you will be trained and kept up to date with these matters. Under the heading of welfare, you will enjoy planning and promoting the social aspects of our students’ journeys, including using our social media platforms. As a Mandarin speaker, you will be the go-to person for our Chinese clients and agents. You should maximise your own time and performance standards in order to maximise client satisfaction and to promote the desired work culture. It should be noted that certain aspects of this role are seasonal and, as such, it is not expected that you will be carrying out all tasks mentioned here simultaneously. You'll be a self-starter who continually seeks ways to improve your own working practice. Due to the nature of our work, you must have excellent English and Mandarin-language skills. You must also be proficient with Microsoft Office - Word, Excel and Outlook. In return for your hard work you will be paid a competitive wage, not less than the Living Wage, be enrolled on Perkbox - our chosen provider of an unbeatable range of benefits, and enjoy a shorter working week out of season (non-contractual).
