There will be two Recruitment Open Days taking place between 10am and 2pm this Saturday (5th March) and Sunday (6th March) at Casablanca at Southport Pleasureland.
The Open Days will be followed by induction training, and then the grand opening on March 26.
After that comes the busy Easter holidays and the Summer holidays, but autumn and winter are busy too with exciting events such as the bustling Day Of The Dead Festival and lots of festive fun in the lead-up to Christmas.
New attractions at the famous venue include a 34-metre high observation wheel with sensational views across the coast, and a Viking themed adventure golf course and longhouse eatery.
There are lots of roles available at Southport Pleasureland throughout the year including: ride assistants, parking attendants, housekeeping, guest relations assistants, catering staff, cooks, gardeners, landscapers and many more.
Operating the site is like "running a small village".
Southport Pleasureland CEO Norman Wallis said: “There are so many jobs needed here.
“We employ electricians, mechanical engineers, graphic designers, landscapers, gardeners, ride assistants.
“Some people think that all we have here are people standing on the spot and pressing the button to operate a ride. The reality couldn’t be further from the truth. We are far more than that.
“We have people here who are on apprenticeships, who are taking courses at college.
“People here can enjoy rich and rewarding careers, with the experience gained here giving them opportunities to work in Dubai, in Florida, at attractions across the world.
“We have a lot of university and college students working here, with the hours available fitting in with their studies and their term times.
“We also welcome people who have great life experience, parents, grandparents, older people who can help to mentor some of our younger workers, and who offer superb customer skills.
“We want to be able to encourage as many people in the town as possible to come and work here. Our priority at the moment is encouraging people to apply.
“There is a complete mix of full time roles, part time roles, shifts; people can be flexible with the hours they work.
“There is a real family atmosphere for people working at Southport Pleasureland, it is a lovely place to work.
“We are expanding, and we have some very exciting plans for the future. We want to give more jobs to more local people. We are growing, and we need more people to join us.”
