Career Pathways

Whether you are looking to start your career in travel as your first job, or you are thinking of moving industries and pivot your career into travel, you may find it helpful to read about Audley’s Career Pathways before you take your next step.

Here at Audley, we have outlined several ‘Career Pathways’ to help you visualise what your future career could look like with us.

Audley’s ‘Career Pathways’ provides a framework which will give you an overview of the knowledge, skills and behaviours that are required for each role and the steps you will need to take along the relevant pathway. This also provides the structure for your employee development, giving you clarity on all the areas that you would need to develop to progress onto your next role. 

Although there are many Career Pathways that people can choose to take at Audley, we have highlighted seven below, which include ones that could be a perfect first step when looking to join us and then develop your career over time.
