Store launches Santa search

THE hunt is on for Santa to work in Dobbies Southport store this Christmas.

The UK’s leading garden centre retailer has a host of magical in-store events and experiences in the 2020 Christmas calendar and suitable candidates are being called on to fill the boots of Santa.

Dobbies is looking for people who love the spirit of Christmas to take on the role, bringing the magic of Christmas to life for customers of all ages. As well as working in the grotto, Santa will also meet with family groups at Dobbies’ festive breakfast and party events.

The safety of customers and team members is Dobbies’ number one priority and as a result the grotto experience will be different this year, as Santa and the elves will be adhering to social distancing guidelines.

A spokesperson for Dobbies said: “At Dobbies we’re proud to deliver memorable Christmas experiences. The role of Santa is perfect for enthusiastic individuals who are keen to ensure customers have a first-class experience and get into the festive spirit.

“We will be closely following Government guidelines to ensure all events are safe and enjoyable for all.”

Applicants are invited for the role of Santa, with a full training programme provided for those who are successful. A highly rewarding role guaranteed to get customers into the Christmas spirit, successful candidates will be responsible for creating memorable moments for visiting families and children.

Dobbies is looking for reliable, hardworking individuals who are confident, kind and have a jolly nature. Candidates will spread happiness and capture the imagination of children of all ages.
