Hybrid Travel Advisor (Commission-Based)

The Freedom of Freelancing with the Security of Employment

Are you passionate about travel with a natural talent for engaging clients?

At The Tim Potter Travel Co., we are doing things differently. We are a boutique, independent travel agency based in South Bristol, known for our personal service and bespoke itineraries. We are currently looking for motivated, service-driven Hybrid Travel Advisors to join our growing team.

This is a unique role that offers the ultimate flexibility of working from home without the financial risks. Unlike many personal travel franchises, we do not charge any set-up fees, monthly subscriptions, or training costs.

A Career Designed to Fit Your Life

We understand that the traditional 9-to-5 doesn’t work for everyone. This role is designed to be completely adaptive:

  • Perfect for Parents & Carers: Manage your own diary to work around the school run or childcare commitments. Many clients prefer to discuss their holiday plans in the evenings, allowing you to work when it suits your household.
  • Ideal Secondary Employment: Because we charge no monthly fees, there is no pressure to “break even.” You can manage this role alongside another part-time job or business, booking holidays as and when your leads come in.
  • True Work-Life Balance: Eliminate the daily commute. While you will join us in our South Bristol shop for a minimum of two shifts per month to stay connected with the team, the rest of the time, you have total control over your environment and pace.
The Role & Locations

We are specifically looking for advisors based in Kingswood, Hanham, Longwell Green, Westbury, Shirehampton, Keynsham, Saltford, Bath, and North Somerset (Nailsea, Backwell, & Clevedon).

  • Client Engagement: Build your reputation as a trusted personal travel expert using your local network and our marketing support.
  • Bespoke Bookings: Design and book everything from simple city breaks to complex, tailor-made global itineraries.
  • End-to-End Service: Act as the main point of contact for your clients, ensuring a seamless experience from the initial quote to their return home.
The Support We Provide

We provide the platform and the tools; you provide the expertise and the drive.

  • Extensive Portfolio: Access over 100 tour operators, cruise lines, and our own in-house tour operator service.
  • Financial Protection: All bookings are fully ATOL protected and covered by our ABTA membership.
  • Full Tech Kit: We provide all necessary IT equipment at no cost to you.
  • Role Support: Unlike most commission-based roles, you will be treated as and paid as an employee, so you’re not on your own. As a member of our team, you will not need to provide your own insurance or accountant.
Rewards & Opportunities
  • Competitive Earnings: Earn attractive commission rebates and performance-related bonuses.
  • Travel Perks: Benefit from exclusive staff holiday discounts and supplier incentives.
  • Industry Events: Opportunities to attend supplier competitions and educational trips.
How to Apply

If you have the skills to inspire travellers and the drive to manage your own client base with the backing of a respected Bristol agency, we would love to hear from you.
