Dream jobs on offer at theme park

ONE of the Gold Coast’s major theme parks is embarking on a massive recruitment drive, with more than 100 jobs on offer to locals.

Dreamworld is looking to fill the roles for the busy September and December school holiday periods.

The Coomera theme park says some of the successful candidates will ultimately be offered the chance to continue at Dreamworld in permanent roles.

The jobs are available across a wide range of areas including food and beverage, retail, attractions, aquatics, wildlife, guest services, administration and entertainment.

Dreamworld chief operating officer Greg Yong said the theme park industry played a vital role in the Gold Coast economy.

“Each year, Dreamworld provides more locals with critical work experience to help pave the way for their future careers and provide them with practical skills within the work force, as well as offering a training academy to deliver continued learning and development opportunities,” he said.

“As Australia’s largest theme park, Dreamworld aspires to nurture and support the wider Queensland community by offering a multitude of positions and we look forward to welcoming our new team members soon.”

Dreamworld has this year welcomed new tiger cubs, while it is also planning a major expansion of its Corroboree and wildlife area.
