OISE YLS has a well-established travel operation which ensures the students are well-looked after from the moment they arrive in the UK to the time they enter the departure lounge to return home.  For those students who choose the group travel Eurostar option this begins even earlier as the couriers travel out to Paris or Lille and accompany them on the trains.

 

As well as ensuring a safe and smooth journey for our students, we are constantly working on ways to enhance their travel experience. Three years ago we opened our Welcome Club near Heathrow. Almost all the Heathrow arrivals and many Gatwick/St Pancras arrivals are transferred here. Instead of waiting in a busy airport terminal, they can be registered and relax here. Food and activities are on offer. Students can start to make friends, learn more about their schools and above all feel that their courses start right here!

 

In fact, we want the experience to start the moment they enter the airport or station. That is why our meet and greet team also play a vital role in welcoming our students, keeping them informed and dealing with any travel queries. Meet and Greet/Welcome Club also look after students from our Regent Young Learners and SES. It is important to respond to the different needs of these groups, as well as each individual's needs.

 

Whichever role you choose, there is an opportunity to work with a diverse range of students and staff and make a real difference to their first and last impressions of OISE.  Many of the travel team return year after year but we are always looking for new team members to bring their energy, enthusiasm and ideas.

 

Many arrivals/departures are centred around London and therefore most staff are based within reasonable travelling distance of Heathrow or Gatwick. However, there are some opportunties for Bristol and Manchester.  Arrivals are on Sundays and departures on Saturdays.  Please see the job descriptions for more information on each position.
