It may just be the end of summer, but Dobbies’ Edinburgh store, in Lasswade, is on the hunt for its festive team, inviting applicants to apply for seasonal roles at the heart of its festive events this Christmas.
From welcoming children (and dogs) to Dobbies’ North Pole adventure-themed grotto at the Edinburgh store, to hosting Santa’s Breakfast in the restaurant, these merry recruits will be at the heart of spreading festive cheer and helping families excitedly count down to Christmas.
Successful applicants will undergo a training programme through Dobbies’ Santa School.
To ensure the most magical start to the festive season, Dobbies’ seasonal colleagues will begin preparations in mid-November, in plenty of time for Santa’s Arrival, a free-to-attend celebration on Sunday 23 November, to get the season started.
Dobbies’ events programme manager, Ayesha Nickson, said: “Christmas is always a magical time at Dobbies, and we are looking forward to creating memorable visits for all the family this year, with the help of our new Christmas team at the Edinburgh store.
“We are encouraging anyone that loves the festive season to apply, no matter how much experience they have. Our training programme ensures everyone will be feeling confident to create unforgettable moments. If you're looking for a rewarding role this festive season, we strongly encourage you to apply.”
Applicants are now invited to apply for the Santa role at Dobbies’ Edinburgh store, with elf roles soon to be announced.
Dobbies’ Santa School is an online learning platform that each successful applicant will undergo. After completing the course, new, seasonal colleagues will receive further in-store training sessions.
