Fancy a fun, festive job this Halloween? Our Pumpkin Patch runs from 10th–31st October, and we’re looking for hardworking, friendly people to join the team for this event!
Roles at the event include (but aren’t limited to):
- Welcoming guests and directing them to activities
- Helping guests navigate the pumpkin patch
- Carving pumpkins (we use stencils, so artistic skill isn’t required!)
- Tidying the patch: moving wheelbarrows, putting out pumpkins, litter picking, cleaning down tables and tools, etc.
- Engaging with families and children
- Giving general assistance where needed
This role is great for people who enjoy interacting with children, don’t mind getting stuck into pumpkin carving, and are keen for a fun seasonal job. It could also lead to further opportunities at our Christmas event, and into the following season at the farm. The event runs from 10am–6pm most days, with some evening work available.
Experience
No particular experience is required — you should be confident, outgoing, and willing to help others. Previous customer service experience is useful, but a great attitude matters just as much. Applicants must be 16 years+ to apply.
What We’re Looking For
- Energetic and positive
- Great at communicating with others
- Organised and attentive to detail
- Sociable, outgoing, and enjoys learning
Job Type: Zero-hours contract
Age Requirement: Applicants must be 16 or over
