The holiday industry jobs are aimed at young people and come amid growing concern about a “lost generation” of school and university leavers unable to find work.
Haven Holidays is launching the recruitment drive to find 350 ‘FunStars’ as the boom in UK tourism caused by the “staycation” looks set to continue for another year.
The FunStars will help entertain thousands of families and children at Haven’s 35 holiday parks around the UK in 2011 with the prospect of permanent positions for the right recruits.
The campaign marks a subtle shift in role for Haven’s FunStars who are broadening their skills to be more actively involved in enhancing the holiday experience for guests.
Hundreds of hopefuls are expected to attend the auditions at The Portland Thistle Hotel in Portland Street on January 11th to snap up the vacancies early on.
Haven is one of the biggest employers of entertainers in the UK.
Jamie Thomson, Entertainments Manager for Haven said: “In 2011 the FunStars will be adopting more of a ‘holiday host’ role and their main aim will be to create the holiday magic. They will be involved with entertaining guests in our team shows but most importantly they will have a greater role in running our children’s clubs and making sure everyone has a fantastic holiday. For those with the right qualities we are also offering more opportunities to take up year round roles rather than being a seasonal job.”
Jamie added “Personality is a big factor in selecting our FunStars and for the first time we will also be having some Junior Judges on the panels. So those going along to the auditions will also have to show they can win over some of our most discerning customers!”
Candidates for the roles can brush up their skills in front of the camera in rehearsal pods whilst they are waiting for the auditions. And the videos will be uploaded on a special channel on You Tube to share the moment with viewers – with a prize for the candidate that scores the most hits!
