Around 650 jobs are up for grabs at four North East holiday parks owned by Parkdean Resorts as the firm gears up for a bumper year.
Gosforth based Parkdean Resorts is the biggest holiday park operator in the UK, with 66 centres, and the company's CEO says he expects bookings to hold firm, having seen record bookings last year. That is leading to a major recruitment drive across its portfolio of parks, with more than 11,000 jobs being created across its portfolio. Now bosses at the firm say they are looking for 650 new staff members in the region as part of a recruitment drive for the 2023 season.
Parkdean Resorts – which has Church Point, in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Cresswell Towers at Druridge Bay and Sandy Bay in Ashington, Crimdon Dene, near Hartlepool, and Whitley Bay in the region – is hiring cleaners, bar staff, chefs, kitchen team members, waiting staff, receptionists, lifeguards and security officers.
