Groups Meetings & Events Support Coordinator
Location: Kent or West Sussex (hybrid)
Salary: £31,000 to £33,000 depending on experience
Job type: Permanent, full time (part time considered)
At Rockpool, we are delighted to be working with a respected corporate travel business with a long history and a strong reputation for personal service.
They are looking for a Groups Meetings & Events Support Coordinator to support their specialist events team. From conferences to high-profile gatherings, that team handles the travel for attendees and senior guests, and you will be the one making sure all the arrangements behind the scenes fall perfectly into place.
Never worked in events? No problem. This is a brilliant opportunity for a business travel consultant who wants a fresh challenge, without the late nights and time on the road that usually come with events work.
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.
What will I be doing?
- Arranging flights for groups and attendees through the GDS, along with hotel blocks, trains and transfers
- Building and maintaining attendee, hotel and travel lists so everyone is accounted for
- Keeping a close eye on key deadlines for holds, payments and releasing unused space
- Making changes and cancellations quickly and accurately, even at the eleventh hour
- Being the friendly link between suppliers, event organisers and colleagues
What experience do I need?
- Two years or more booking travel, with business travel experience preferred
- Strong GDS knowledge, Amadeus ideally, including issuing and reissuing tickets
- A really organised approach, with the ability to keep lots of plates spinning without missing a detail
- A warm, clear communication style and the ability to stay unflappable when things shift
- Good spreadsheet skills
- Any experience with group bookings, hotel blocks or conference travel would be a plus, but you will be supported to learn
