We are hiring a team of Santas to help us relaunch our infamous Trevena Cross Santa’s Grotto in December 2023.

THE ROLE:
This year’s grotto experience aims to give families a memorable encounter with Santa and will require ‘Santa’ to:

  • Be believable in the prestigious role – and remain in character at all times
  • Chat with children and families about their Christmas plans, and about the children’s ‘Christmas list!’
  • Be able to act spontaneously in response to unexpected questions or comments
  • Have an unwavering cheery disposition and be entertaining
  • Treat each child/family like they are the only thing in the world that matters during those precious few grotto minutes!
  • Have photos and videos taken

THE OUTFIT:
An outfit will be provided (unless you already have one which is suitable). Please let us know your clothes size when applying to ensure we can cater to your requirements.

A real beard is a bonus!

DATES/TIMINGS:

  • Weekends: 2nd-3rd December / 9th-10th December / 16th-17th December 9am-5pm
  • Wednesday 20th / Thursday 21st / Friday 22nd December 9am-5pm
  • We anticipate four hour shifts (AM /PM) – but flexibility is possible so talk to us if you’d like to be involved, but four hour shifts don’t suit
  • Please let us know your availability (i.e. dates & times) when applying
