Christmas Elf

Rate of Pay: £17.00 per hour dependent on experience

Hours: 25 – 35 hours per week (Wednesday – Sunday) depending on business need from 10 November to 23 December.

The festive season is just around the corner, and we are looking for performers to help bring the festive season to life. As one of Santa’s favourite elves, you will be at the heart of the Christmas experience-creating magical moments for children and families through performance, interaction, and festive fun.

You will greet and engage with visitors of all ages while staying in character as one of Santa’s elves. You will take part in a short festive show that includes fun demonstrations and storytelling, share hot chocolates with excited children, and listen to their Christmas wishes.

We are looking for confident performers with strong stage presence and the ability to stay in character throughout the day. You should have excellent communication skills, including expressive body language and be comfortable interacting with children and families in a busy environment. A warm, energetic personality and a great sense of humour are essential. Singing ability is a bonus, but not essential.

You must be available throughout November and December, Wednesdays – Sundays. Costumes will be provided, plus training.
