North East based holiday company Parkdean Resorts has launched a drive to take on 650 new staff members in the region as part of a recruitment drive for the 2023 season.
The holiday park operator, which has its head office in Gosforth, Newcastle, is the largest firm of its kind in the UK with 66 parks, all of which are on the hunt for new workers. The move comes as the company is hoping for record levels of bookings, as customers seek out value holidays as inflation hits new highs.
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. Across its UK-wide parks, Parkdean Resorts is recruiting 11,000 people in total, with more than 10,000 seasonal and 750 permanent roles on offer.
