Calling Father Christmas! Yes, we said it… It’s nearly the most wonderful time of the year, and we need Father Christmas at SEA LIFE Birmingham to help deliver the magic.

Together with a team of elves you can help deliver an extremely magical experience to all families visiting us.

If you’re ho-ho-hoping for a part time role this winter, then look no further as we are recruiting for the jolliest role there is. Christmas is a magical time of year and Santa is at the heart of the experience. From the moment you step into the red suit you’ll be totally immersed in the experience, asking children about their wish list, and telling stories about the North Pole. You’ll certainly be asked lots of questions, and we look forward to seeing you keeping the magic of Christmas real.

We know Santa Claus is busy, but we’ll need them to be available when the contract starts from 20th November to 24th December. Based upon 15 hours a week, working 3 days out of 7. Due to the 7-day nature of the business this will include weekends and bank holidays as and when required.

Training is provided in our stand-alone Grotto with our elves, plus we have a full Santa costume to put on. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to an audition as part of the selection process.

• Previous experience in improv or a similar role is desirable but full training will be given
• Outgoing, fun, upbeat and have a jolly demeanour
• The confidence to deliver Christmas Magic to our visitors

Alongside spreading Christmas cheer, we also offer:

• Monthly bonus based on guest satisfaction
• 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants
• 40% online LEGO discount
• Merlin Magic Pass - giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your family, and friends every year

If you have any questions or if you require any assistance, because of a disability or medical condition, please contact us by email at gatewayuk.recruitment@merlinentertainments.biz and one of the team will get back to you as soon as possible.
