Santa (fixed-term)

Every year our villages fall under a captivating spell and transform into an enchanting Winter Wonderland. With twinkling lights, glittering decorations and Santa’s Woodland Workshop, the forest comes alive with the anticipation of Christmas.

SANTA | €14.81 per hour

Please note this is a fixed-term contract until 24 December 2023.

The trepidation and excitement of Christmas is magical for all children. It’s a wonderful time of the year and at the heart of their experience is Santa. Every year he sees thousands of children and each time they leave with smiles on their faces.

From the moment you step into the red suit you’ll be totally focused on the job at hand, regaling stories from the North Pole and asking children about their Christmas list. Whatever question they ask, you’ll ensure that the magic is sprinkled and the anticipation of Christmas Eve heightened.

Santa is required to work in a variety of areas so you could be greeting families in the Wonderland Workshop or engaging with children and their families in our restaurant during the popular Brunch with Santa activity.
