You would be joining us at an exciting time – just as we re-launch our site – and therefore you will be crucial in identifying and building up a loyal brand following!

You would be responsible for:

• Interacting with the online Travel community (like/dislike, make suitable and valuable comments, make suggestions, engage people)

The ideal candidate:

• Is not just familiar with, but also active social media sites and has a strong online presence. In particular, the ideal candidate would be very familiar with Twitter and its partner platforms (HootSuite, TweetDeck etc.)
• Excellent written communication skills, so they can make the right judgements on what to post without damaging the brand. We are proud of our social tone of voice and want someone who can maintain our irreverent yet informative approach
• Top-notch social skills; we want someone with a bit of panache and a good sense of humour!
• A self-starter with the ability to work independently and make judgement calls
• The ideal candidate would be results driven and take pride in seeing the Likes and Followers go up!
• Passion for travel, culture and all things Social Media

If this sounds like you, then we would LOVE to talk to you!

Just send your CV and a brief cover letter telling us why you think you would be perfect for this role, to our Social Media Manager, Anna-Lucy at AnnaLucy.Terry@MyDestination.com and she will get back to you ASAP.

We are looking for someone to start immediately to work for a period of 3 – 6 months (minimum 3, negotiable). The successful candidate would need their own laptop to work from and would receive £20/day remuneration for their efforts, with some working flexibility during the Olympics.
