The role:

 

As a Social Media Assistant, you will be the online representative of our brand, providing virtual customer support across various platforms for those who frequent our airports. You'll communicate with our customers and support them with their enquiries and feedback on all social media channels we are active on: X (previously known as Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and TikTok. You will foster positive interactions by giving them guidance, information and help, before, during and after their time at our airports.

 

You will not be creating content in this role, more communicating with our customers via our social channels. In addition, you'll engage with our community, including enthusiasts and supporters of our airports, helping to share their positive experiences. Your interactions should always align with our established tone and brand guidelines.

 

The position involves working shifts seven days a week on a rotation schedule, based on 5 days on followed by 3 days off. Shift times are from 06:00 to 13:45, and 13:45 to 22:00.

 

You'll be responsible for managing customer service for all sites within the MAG group and extensive training across our Airport Operations will be part of your onboarding experience.

 

What will make you successful in the role?

 

To be successful in this role, you will need to have a good knowledge of the social media platforms we use and strong communication skills. Previous experience in a customer service-orientated role such as a call centre, would be a plus, as is previous experience of working in an airport (or similar establishment) with good working knowledge of the airport operation.

 

You will also need to pay attention to detail and have excellent spelling, punctuation and grammar skills. You will be able to manage your time and organise your tasks efficiently.

 

You will have a proactive attitude and a genuine desire to assist people, as well as strong problem-solving skills.
