Requirements

What we're looking for

There is no single correct background for this role. Previous education or work experience can vary - often motivation, attitude, and personality matter most. A big plus is if you enjoy phone work and helping people feels natural to you.

We hope that:

· you speak and write fluent Finnish and English (our working language at the office is English, other languages are a plus)

· you are flexible and thrive in a fast-paced environment

· you communicate clearly both over the phone and in writing

· you are organized and perform your work carefully

· you thrive in busy situations and know how to prioritize

· you enjoy teamwork, but also know how to work independently

· you have a good work ethic and a desire to learn new things

· you are positive and solution-oriented

· you learn new systems quickly and dare to use them

The role

Viking Matka-apu receives calls from travel insurance customers around the world: people who have experienced an accident, illness, or some other unpleasant situation during their trip. We are there to support them when help is truly needed.

Our offices are located in Torrevieja and Fuengirola, and we serve customers in Finnish, Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish.

Within the Viking Assistance Group, Viking Travel Care helps travelers and people working abroad around the world on behalf of travel insurance companies. We coordinate assistance specifically for Nordic travelers and support them through our global network of medical service providers and partners - from small travel-related issues to demanding medical emergencies.

What you'll do

As an Assistance Coordinator, you are often the first person a customer contacts after an incident. Your job is to listen, ask the right questions, and ensure that the customer receives the help they need.

In practice, your duties include, among other things:

· assessing the customer's situation and gathering the necessary information

· answering questions regarding insurance coverage

· creating a case in our system

· directing the customer to a doctor or clinic

· booking flights and accommodation if necessary

· cooperating with insurance companies and service partners

Most important is good customer service and ensuring that the customer feels they are in good hands. In this role, no two days are the same, and you must be able to juggle many tasks at once.

How you'll work

· Full-time

· Start date: As soon as possible

· Location: Torrevieja or Fuengirola, Spain

· Working hours: shift work on a rotating roster (day, evening, and night shifts)

Hiring process

If you have any questions, you can contact the Travel Care supervisors: lotta.vilkka@Vikingassistance.com or jenna.heiskari@Vikingassistance.com

Interviews are conducted continuously during the application period.

We look forward to hearing from you!
