Dobbies, the UK’s leading garden centre, is officially counting down to Christmas with its Santa and Elf recruitment drive, searching for around 300 enthusiastic helpers to sleigh ride from the North Pole and bring festive cheer to its line-up of great value seasonal events.
Appointed seasonal team members will receive a full training programme to get them ready for a mid-November start date.
Sarah Murray, who leads on Dobbies’ festive line up, is looking for Santas and Elves that have a passion for ensuring a magical experience for all family members. She said: “My main aim is that our customers have the most cheerful Christmas possible and we’re looking for helpers to assist us in delivering the ultimate festive fun in our stores.
“Santa’s boots are hard to fill, and we’re looking for people who have a passion for Christmas and are great with children and dogs. They’ll need to help us bring some magic from the North Pole to our stores, so we’re looking for charismatic individuals worthy of Santa’s hat.”
Santa from Dobbies Stirling store, who has held the role for seven years, explained why he loves granting Christmas wishes year on year. He said: “Christmas is such a magical time and it’s been a delight to have flown with Rudolph all the way from the North Pole to make sure all families that choose to celebrate with us have a memorable festive season.”
Dobbies’ Grotto will be available across 52 stores from the 25 November, and back by popular demand, Dobbies’ Quiet Grotto experience will also be available this year, taking place on 8 December for those with additional needs. Santa Paws will also be running across 52 stores with sessions taking place from the 2 December, plus four little dobbies stores for city dwellers. Santa’s Breakfast will take place in 68 stores from 25 November.
There will be a variety of vacancies available across stores nationwide. If you think you’ve got what it takes to be Santa or his helper, and want to spread some festive cheer this year, applications are now open.
