Global Work & Travel UK

Global work and travel are an amazing company. I would highly recommend this company to any travellers. They have a range of different categories from Au pair to volunteers and it’s all about the journey. Jess and Stacey were amazing and still are whilst I continue my journey through the UK. These girls always reply within 24hrs to any emails or calls answering all questions about everything. They help from ensuring you have a check list to insurance policy and still check up whilst away travelling. This company has made from what seemed unrealistic to actually happening happen and that for me is just amazing!

Very friendly and helpful with all processes, getting Visa and flights, getting a SIM for my phone, bank account, and job interviews. I am a worry-wart so it was great that Kim was always happy to answer my questions and concerns, and I asked A LOT. Everything worked out and I was able to get a job interview and position right before I arrived so I didn't have to worry about it when I got there. They arranged a bunch of group activities and if I couldn't make them I can save and reschedule for another time which is awesome! The only "downside" is the cost of flights and insurance but overall, if you're new to traveling like I am and needed the help it's worth it. It's cheaper to do it on your own but I had them helping every step and didn't have to worry about cancellations or any unforeseen events messing up my trip!

Was very skeptical about booking with a company online I hadn’t really heard much about before but global work and travel were amazing! Would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking to travel with help along the way. I’m currently in Thailand volunteering with dogs and then off travelling for a month afterwards and I wouldn’t have been able to do it without the help from Julian and Millie! They were happy to help me through my journey and answer ALL of my questions!

Honestly i was quite anxious planning this trip, as its my first time travelling solo, and especially with Covid the last couple of years i was always hesitant because everything was so unpredictable with the ability to travel, however, the team at Global Work & Travel have gone to great efforts to make sure my upcoming trip was catered and suited perfectly for what i was looking, they were always patient and nurturing with my decisions .The ladies i was assigned with to help me (Stacey, Anastasia (formerly) and Betty) have always been so professional and friendly and have made me feel confident and excited. to explore the world. I would 100% recommend this company, as to how easy this trip has been planned out. Cant wait to start my new journey !

I found Global Work and Travel randomly one day on google and since I decided I wanted to go on an adventure they've been very helpful and supportive the whole way, from answering any and every question I had to booking everything for me and getting me a job interview. They are prompt and very good at checking in with you along your journey and letting you know they are there for you continuously. Thank you Global Work and Travel! I would recommend these guys! ^^

Don't touch this company with a barge pole. They over promise and under deliver. The only good thing about them is their marketing.

Global Work and Travel UK's offer is designed to appeal to those feeling a little anxious about planning a trip to work abroad, They are therefore vulnerable to promises of peace of mind in planning their trip, their arrival and guarantees of job offers.

This is not our experience. It was a total waste of money.

We feel let down by this company and so did others who arrived in the Gold Coast at the same time. Our comments relate to our experience in Australia so we obviously can't vouch for what the service is like elsewhere. But this is their head office so you'd hope it was a shining example of what they do.

They deliver by the letter of their offer (only just) and not on the spirit.

The job offers were limited to hospitality - our daughter was only offered an interview for a job one week before she travelled. No peace of mind there. It turns out they only put candidates forward for one job at at time so no choice is offered to the traveler. By the time they arrive in the country they are in a desperate position so take whatever is offered. 3 out of the 6 travellers our daughter arrived with had not sorted a job before arriving. This one job at a time process, with interviews offered moments before departure, is certainly not the impression created in the sales material. When we asked why the only job interview our daughter was offered was as a chambermaid they said her cv had not peen accepted by organisations that met her first choice. They could not produce any evidence that they had put her cv forward to any other employer from their 'large network of partners.' They held onto our money for the flight for months with zero action. They claimed they couldn't book it until close to departure and then as the departure date came close, they changed their story and said they would only put her forward to employers if she had a flight booked in order to reassure employers that she was genuinely coming. By this time, flight dates were limited and prices had gone up. We feel very angry that although they listened to our complaints they refused to admit they'd failed us in offering the reassurance of things sorted in advance that their offer suggests. Look carefully at other reviews of this outfit as you'll see we are not alone. Save your £1,500 as literally all it bought was 4 nights in a downtown youth hostel. Oh and a 2 hour surf lesson and two tourist excursions. They should be ashamed. And I would encourage others to come forward to warn people off. We don't normally complain online about anything but we feel they are taking advantage.

I have a close friend who paid $8000 to use their service in the UK and was left without a job and without accommodation within a week of her arrival with no follow up support or re-homing service. This is a scam, do not use them.

Once you book onto a trip you get a call the next day to check for eligibility and to take payment. I had Millie as my trip coordinator she had an enthusiastic personality so I enjoyed working with her to get me ready for my trip. She left half way through the trip organisation to follow a new career path so I got Ross! His been brilliant. His professional, updates me regularly, answers all questions and I can always call if I have any questions. I couldn’t have asked for a better coordinator than Ross. His exceeded my expectations of the global work & travel.

Pros:
- I have felt very well supported to plan my trip.

- Gworld has all your documents organised well.

- I was supported with my resume as it needed some extra work!

Cons:
- limited training opportunities. So you do have to be open minded with areas that may not necessary be your first choice.

- It is very costly to book on to an internship or working holiday & as a young professional I have had to use / save some money up to be able to afford it. You also need some money saved up for your arrival especially if your trip does not include accommodation.

- You do enquire extra prices along the way that are not included aswell e.g. flights, police record, visa fee. I think the ACRO and visa fee should perhaps be included.
