What you'll bring to the team

 

Calling all explorers, ever wanted to come face-to-fin with some of the most curious creatures you will ever meet? Here at SEA LIFE London, we are on the lookout for Actors to tell the tales of our creatures and attraction.

 

You will play a key role in educating and entertaining our guests of all ages. Portraying a variety of exciting and educational characters who deliver fin-tastic experiences, through immersive learning, shows and play. You’ll be interacting with guests daily and performing shows on a roster basis.

Daily duties will include supervising our Rock Pool, leading our outstanding Behind the Scenes Tours and our immersive in-house site-specific shows, pioneering one to one personal experiences, so that every guest can leave saying that they learnt something amazing. The role will also require you to wear a costume at times, so you'll need to be comfortable being able to entertain our guests whilst in character.

This is a fixed term, 6-month contract, and we have full time and flexi roles available, offering a minimum of 10 hours per week. The attraction is open daily and so flexibility will be needed with shifts including weekends, bank holidays and peak seasons.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Previous performing experience
  • Heaps of stamina and the ability to maintain an infectious energy
  • A genuine interest and passion for marine life
  • To be able to learn scripts quickly and take direction
  • The confidence to deliver fun and engaging, interactive, educational, and family focused shows in character whilst wearing a costume

Ultimately, we are looking for guest obsessed individuals that are willing to consistently deliver a service that goes above and beyond.

Benefits

Alongside becoming an expert in spreading happiness, you’ll also receive:

  • Monthly bonus based on customer satisfaction
  • 25% discount in our retail shops and restaurants
  • 40% off LEGO online
  • Merlin Magic Pass - giving you free tickets to all our attractions worldwide for you, your family, and friends every year
  • Employee pricing up to 55% off cinema tickets

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.
