About Adelita:
Adelita Travel is a modern travel company specialising in curated group travel, concierge services and bespoke itineraries for people looking for more than a standard package holiday.
We work across student and group travel, luxury escapes, artist and entertainment travel, brand experiences and personalised itineraries, combining traditional travel booking with a modern, experience-led approach. From university societies and group holidays to music events, festivals and VIP travel, our goal is to create unforgettable experiences while making travel planning seamless.
Founded by university student Heidi Cusack, Adelita was built on a simple idea: young people travel constantly, yet the travel industry rarely speaks to them.
Students, friendship groups, university societies and young professionals spend millions on travel every year, but there are very few agencies dedicated to serving them. We believe that’s a huge gap in the market—and an even bigger opportunity.
As Adelita grows, we’re looking for ambitious people to help build the UK’s leading travel brand for students, groups and experience-led travel.
This isn’t your typical job.
I’m not simply hiring travel agents.
I’m inviting people to become part of an exciting early-stage project.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
This is a self-employed, commission-based opportunity, meaning there is no guaranteed salary. Instead, you’ll build your own client base, earn commission on every booking you make, and have the freedom to create a travel business that reflects your own interests and network.
Whether you want to specialise in student holidays, luxury travel, festivals, corporate travel, solo adventures, sports tours or something completely different, the direction is yours to choose.
What you’ll do
As an Independent Travel Agent you’ll:
- Build relationships with clients, businesses and organisations
- Create personalised itineraries and travel experiences
- Book flights, accommodation, transfers and experiences
- Market yourself through social media and networking
- Develop your own niche within the travel industry
- Grow your own client base with ongoing support from Adelita
Why join Adelita?
Unlike joining a large travel company, you’ll be helping shape a brand from the beginning.
You’ll benefit from:
✈️ Access to 100+ travel suppliers through InteleTravel
📱 Branding, marketing and social media support
🤝 Mentorship and ongoing booking support
🌍 The credibility of working under an established brand while building your own business
📈 Genuine entrepreneurial, marketing and commercial experience
🎯 The opportunity to become one of Adelita’s first team members and play a key role in shaping its future

Who we’re looking for
You don’t need previous travel industry experience.
We’re looking for people who are:
- Passionate about travel
- Entrepreneurial and proactive
- Creative and social-media minded
- Strong communicators
- Excited by building something from the ground up
- Keen to develop valuable business experience alongside earning commission
Students, graduates and young professionals are especially encouraged to apply, but applications are welcome from anyone with the right mindset.
Transparency
This isn’t passive income.
Like any business, success comes from consistency, networking and building relationships. Some people join and never post online or reach out to potential clients—and naturally they don’t make sales.
The people who succeed are the ones who enjoy building something over time.
If that excites you rather than puts you off, we’d love to hear from you.
Why now?
I’m not looking for employees.
I’m looking for founding team members.
People who want to help create something genuinely different in an industry that hasn’t changed much in years.
If you’ve ever wanted to combine travel, entrepreneurship, marketing, events and business development into one opportunity, this could be the perfect place to start.
Apply via LinkedIn or send me a message for an informal chat.
Let’s build the future of student travel together. 🌍✈️
