We are working with one of the UK’s leading providers of International Repatriation Services, to and from the United Kingdom.
They provide assistance to Companies, Funeral Directors and Individuals as they deal with the practicalities of bringing a loved one home.
We have an opportunity for a Repatriation Consultant to join their close-knit team and be based in London. Acting as a facilitator and liaison between all parties involved in the repatriation of a deceased person including the bereaved family, this is an immensely rewarding position.
All Repat Consultants receive and process instructions from Insurance companies and Funeral Directors, compile and issue quotations and organise the repatriation with the international network of agents, airlines, customs agencies and service providers.
This position will work closely with the UK based operations team, co-ordinating activities and providing administrative support as required. Occasional travel to Embassies and Consulates forms part of the role.
We are seeking a well presented, competent and confident communicator who is eager to learn with excellent attention to detail. Given the sensitive nature of the role, a caring and compassionate individual is required and due to the global dimension, additional language skills would be highly preferable.
