The essential frontline where no two days are ever the same

Assistance coordinators provide reassurance and support to sick or injured travellers. Representing the front line of the assistance industry, they’re the voice to the customer needing help.

You will help customers around the world, around the clock – in a dynamic 24/7 environment. Flexible hours can support work-life balance for families and those combining work with study.

Tasks include:

  • Liaising with hospitals abroad
  • Obtaining regular reports
  • Guaranteeing payments
  • Sourcing ground transport and air ambulance options

Roadside assistance coordinators initially organise the dispatch of a recovery unit and then put in place a range of support services. Many partners offer services across borders, so language skills are often required for this role.

  • Sourcing accommodation while a vehicle is repaired.

Entry-level assistance coordinators are sought with multilingual abilities to delve into extraordinary emergencies and apply problem-solving skills.
