With the countdown to Christmas now on, Dobbies garden centre in the Clyde Valley is gearing up for a magical festive season and is searching for Santas and Elves to join its team.
With a full training programme available for applicants, the UK’s leading garden centre retailer is searching for helpers for its programme of great value, seasonal events to spread joy across Clyde Valley this year.
From welcoming children into Dobbies’ grotto, to hosting the Santa’s breakfast experience, Santa and his Elves will make sure Christmas is extra special for everyone who visits.
Seasonal team members will begin mid-November in preparation for the opening of Santa’s Grotto, which will be back this year on November 24 with an array of interactive elements and activities.
Sarah Murray, partnership and events manager, said: “We are looking for professional and friendly Santas and Elves to create a magical experience for visitors this year in our Clyde Valley store. There will be a host of interactive elements for all ages to enjoy and we would love to find people who can bring these to life, especially those with a theatrical background or capabilities.
"Santa Paws will be in all Grottos too, so dog-lovers are encouraged to apply.”
Continuing from the success of last year, Dobbies’ Quiet Grottos experience will be available again across 50 stores on December 9. The quiet festive environment has been created specifically for children with additional needs, with sound and visual elements designed to reduce anxiety.
Applicants are now invited to apply for the Santa and Elves roles, with a variety of hours available.
There will be a full training programme provided for those successful via Dobbies’ Santa School, its online learning platform. After completing the course, the new team members will have further training in the store with walk-rounds, store procedures and the chance to familiarise themselves with Santa’s Grotto.
