Thompson & Terry Recruitment are working with a purposeful business with offices in Newbury who work with schools, universities and students to create truly once-in-a-lifetime overseas volunteering opportunities.

Our client are looking to recruit a confident and energetic Business Development Executive to join their offices in Newbury, although they are happy for the right candidate to work a hybrid model with 1-2 days in the office as well as some travel to school and universities.

Requirements:

* Highly ambitious and proactive with a drive to make sales through a variety of methods including face-to-face presentations, telemarketing techniques and social media interactions

* A strong and engaging communicator with excellent written and verbal communication skills

* A real team player with the ability and autonomy to manage a varied workload and multitask

* Previous experience of travelling or working in the travel, education or charity sector would be desirable but is not essential
