Holiday park operator, Haven Holidays, has announced it is recruiting more than 1,500 new seasonal team members across 38 of its 41 holiday parks this summer.
This recruitment drive follows an investment of over £170m across the company’s multiple parks in 2023, which has been driven by the continued growth in domestic tourism. Haven has seen over 40,000 more guests make bookings for the peak summer holiday season, compared with the same time last year.
The company is calling on job seekers to apply for its various available positions, from full-time to part-time roles, evening and weekend working hours, and multi-functional positions across various departments.
Haven Holidays has open placements in food and beverage, housekeeping, and leisure and activities.
According to the group, it strives to be an inclusive employer for all ages, and as such, 29% of all park team members are aged between 16 and 20, while almost one in five team members are over 50 years of age.
All roles will be offered on a seasonal basis with a particular focus on attracting either students in current or post-education, as well as individuals looking for part-time summer employment.
Nola Ferguson, head of talent acquisition at Haven Holidays, said: “At Haven, our guests are at the heart of everything we do, and we are looking for job seekers of all ages and backgrounds with a passion for delivering excellent service to ensure that our guests have the best possible holiday experience.
“With the UK staycation market booming, we have over 1,500 fantastic roles available at our parks, whether candidates are seeking a terrific opportunity to grow their career in hospitality or an age-friendly employer that embraces the benefits that age-diversity brings to our family centric holiday parks.”
She added: “To ensure that new hires get the support and guidance they need, we have a comprehensive training programme in place for every role.”
Part of Bourne Leisure group, Haven employs over 16,000 people across the UK.
