Bolton Abbey Christmas Event Team

We are on the lookout for a number of people to fill a couple of different roles to help us make our Father Christmas event as magical as possible.

These roles will involve working on the following dates from 8:30 am – 5 pm: 22, 23, 29, 30 November, 6, 7, 13, 14, 20, 21, 22, 23 December.

Elf / Support Role

Firstly, we need a cheeky, chatty, organized elf to help assist Father Christmas in meeting all of the wonderful families that are due to visit. This person must be an excellent timekeeper in order to assist with the smooth running of the event.

Craftspeople / Activity Leaders

Secondly, we need a few craftspeople who can help lead the craft activities during the event. Experience in teaching or Forest School activity skills would be really helpful for this role. Again, time keeping is essential to ensure the smooth running of the event.

Requirements

• Very confident in public speaking.
• Enthusiastic, positive, and organized.
• Ability to sprinkle a little bit of magic on each child\’s experience.
• Comfortable working outdoors (the event is outside, although shelters are available).
